Our mission is to strive for excellence of workmanship, Christ-like characteristics, spiritual wholeness, encourage and empower the lost and hurting, while enhancing and strengthening our services through and to the glory of God. I Corinthians. 10:31
Without a doubt, we are way late in providing service learning educational opportunities to the Body of Christ that instills a spirit of service excellence.
We do not have to look far to see the lack of service excellence in leadership, social and economic deficiencies when it is so prevalent among the Body of Christ. Widespread community poverty may be as close as our backyards, within walking distance of our homes, churches, businesses, or just on the other side of town. The Lifelong Learning Unlimited Education and Training Services is considered as a Center for Leadership Excellence. The primary mission is to offer a broad spectrum of service excellence educational enrichment programs for non-profit 501c3 faith-based ministries, businesses, or grassroots organizations.
The LLU was founded in 1998 by Dr. Sandy Murphy with the vision of building long term community education partnerships with church/ministry leadership, community-based grassroots organizations, and the workplace. Since that time, LLU has provided continuing education, community education, professional development training certifications, and ministry and business organizational enrichment consulting services for hundreds of leaders in a variety of organizations locally and nationally. The learning experiences we offer enables our clients to conquer life challenges, instill and enhance service excellence, and improve operational effectiveness.
