More than 480 Chattanooga residents have 'graduated' from our Leadership Classes in the past two decades. The course centers on a Biblical worldview of life and servant leadership. This comprehensive program has been recognized nationally for its unique and life-changing result. It is designed for those in the 23-to-35 year age group of rising community leaders. The class culminates with an innovative service project and normally results in re-dedicated lifestyles centered on public service to the community.

The application materials outline the comprehensive and highly informative course of study and practical application. To date more than 480 individuals have completed our Leadership21 training program and most serve today as leaders in their home, place of business, church, mission field or para-church organizations as examples of spiritual servant leaders.

Chattanooga Matters works with church leaders and faith based groups to organize city-wide efforts throughout the year for such occasions as the Global Day of Prayer attended by millions around the world. We also coordinate local efforts on the National Day of Prayer held throughout the United States on the first Thursday each May.

We initiate strategic prayer efforts on behalf of matters in the city covering specific areas of need. We work in tandem with indigenous neighborhood leaders and churches to engender service to one another throughout the greater Chattanooga area.

We have a long record of hosting distinguished international, national and local speakers on a wide variety of topics beneficial to our city, the strengthening of the churches and individuals seeking ways to put their faith in action in their daily lives.

Please keep in mind these are FREE noontime (12-1PM) events but seating is limited and those attending must R.S.V.P. in advance. Don’t miss your opportunity to hear from informative speakers covering a wide range of subjects that should be of interest to people of faith in Chattanooga.

Please keep checking back on our web site for future details in the News section.

This initiative will identify specific Chattanooga neighborhoods which can be impacted through partnerships with churches, the business community, ministries and individuals working toward common and achievable goals. What matters to these neighborhoods matters to us. We will have more to announce about this initiative in coming months.

The most effective leadership found in any city are those individuals who are willing to give of themselves in service to others. Therefore we will coordinate efforts to meet the needs of citizens through cooperative efforts. In the past we have organized the church, businesses and education communities in helping perform volunteer work projects to improve the learning environment in public schools. We also coordinated an effort which brought thousands of dollars of free school supplies into the Chattanooga/Hamilton County classrooms. We see tasks that need doing, throughout our city, simply waiting for the hands to do them. We make sure we find the hands to do them.

This exciting new project is designed to achieve a number of goals and not the least of which is honoring the simple acts of kindness, faith and servant leadership which so typifies life in Chattanooga. In coming months we will produce and film a number of videos honoring individuals in our community, people who would likely never be recognized on the evening news or daily newspaper, who faithfully impact our city one person at a time. We believe this film series will influence Chattanooga in a positive way simply by honoring positive people who reach out to serve others. Keep watching this website as we will post the videos online so that they can be viewed and shared with a global audience.
