Executive Director Biblical Leadership for Excellence

Since our founding in 1985 in San Antonio, TX, Biblical Leadership for Excellence (BLE) has helped thousands of individuals experience God’s greater purpose in their work. As a result, BLE serves a growing community of believers who are being equipped as effective ambassadors of Christ in their work. (Matthew 28:19-20; Ephesians 4:11-12). BLE's ministry has the greatest influence because of its leaders who follow Christ as servant leaders in all spheres of life (Mark 10:45). BLE is part of the exciting “faith at work” movement of God locally, nationally, and internationally.

We are seeking an enthusiastic leader with a heart for Kingdom impact and leadership skills who will expand the BLE ministry as we enter our fourth decade of ministry.
