Leon believes that it is important to be contemporary wherever we are at. Spirit Contemporary Churches reach people of all ages, ethnic and religious backgrounds by teaching God’s word in a relevant and easily understood manner. Spirit Contemporary Leaders influence the marketplace with their integrity and high standards.
This network was birthed out of Leon’s desire to help church and business leaders develop to their full potential and ultimately see lives changed. When Leon started out, there were few resources available for him on practical issues like hiring and firing, the day-to-day running of a church, etc. Helping other leaders has now become one of his greatest passions.
