“Ever met someone who is so much like Jesus that you pray they don’t get translated early? Such would be the case when you get to know Darren Hileman. It has been my privilege to work on a pastoral team with Darren for two years and to be a close friend with him for nearly ten years. I can only tell you that he is one of the most Christ-honoring leaders I have ever personally known.

How do you describe a man of this integrity? Darren is a shepherd par excellent. He is an extraordinary leader who has the magical mixture of vision and strategic thinking. His temperament is one of steadfastness, character, and love. And his mentoring heart is a powerful gift to this fatherless generation.

Besides being an outstanding leader, Darren exemplifies true family priorities in a powerful way. His wife Mandy and two small children are the obvious epicenter of his life. And having watched the day-to-day outworkings of his family life, I can only tell you that the Hileman family is a Christ-honoring model of biblical priorities and wholeness.

I commend to you any ministry that Darren Hileman is giving leadership to, including South Carolina [School of Leadership]. From my vantage point, I would confidently involve myself in any ministry that this incredible man of God gives leadership to. Why? Darren Hileman is a true spiritual coach in a world of mere companions. He is a prophet to this generation in a world of mere voices and a spiritual father to a youth culture led by detached Christian CEO’s.

In short, I celebrate Darren Hileman and his emerging ministry as Director of South Carolina [School of Leadership]. Do yourself a favor and figure out a way to connect with him. You will never regret it.”

 

 

“South Carolina [School of Leadership] deserves your serious consideration. Led by one of America’s premier leadership teachers, Darren Hileman, [SCSL] is executed with excellence and each individual student’s potential is prioritized. Hosted by a vibrant church committed to discipleship and Christian ministry, students can experience healthy church life and relationship development.

It is without reservation that I recommend South Carolina [School of Leadership] under Darren’s capable leadership.”

 

 

“[South Carolina School of Leadership] provides an excellent opportunity for individuals to receive ministerial training and personal development.  The balance between practical hands on ministry, biblical studies, and personal mentoring by a seasoned minister is a biblical formula that cannot be beat.  I have personally known Darren Hileman for several years and would strongly encourage any young adult wanting to grow in Christ to place him/herself under his tutelage.  Darren is a godly young man with a proven record in developing strong Christian leaders.  This is a golden opportunity for any young adult.  I would not hesitate to send my own children to be mentored by Darren and his ministry.”

 

 

"Darren Hileman and South Carolina [School of Leadership] give immense guidance to the transitioning student and should be a major consideration when choosing one's life direction.  Effective discipleship is the foundation of spiritual growth, and [SCSL] is an ideal atmosphere to establish that foundation."

 

 

“[Darren Hileman] is, other than Christ, the greatest discipler that I know personally.”

 

 

"It is a great honor to recommend Darren and Mandy Hileman and South Carolina [School of Leadership]. They are experienced ministry mentors and great life coaches to leaders and students. Darren and Mandy's passion to give young leaders the tools and experience they need to succeed is unprecedented.
 
The host church, Christian Life, and its Pastoral Staff have partnered together to make it a dream opportunity for any student looking to the next level in life. I have had the benefit of knowing Darren and Mandy for over 6 years and, without reservation, encourage you to look at [SCSL]!"

 

 

“Pastor Darren Hileman and his leadership team have taken Master’s Commission to a whole new level. [SCSL] produces men and women who are a cut above. Students are challenged intensely—they become family and learn the importance of community. They are equipped to discover and better walk in their God given destiny.”

 

 

“South Carolina [School of Leadership] is an impressive ministry that blends academia and discipleship and does so with passion for Jesus Christ. The practical and hands on approach is an incubator for maturing young men and women to be sold out for the cause of Christ.”

 

 

I am extremely excited about the ministry that Pastor Darren is directing, South Carolina [School of Leadership]. Most of us have heard of Master’s Commission, and some have been able to see the impact it can have in the life of a young person. I truly believe that SCSL’s impact will be felt all over the Southeast not only because of the programming, but also because of the leadership.

I hope that you will make [SCSL] an available option for your students. I encourage all of you to develop a relationship with Pastor Darren and his team because I know you will benefit as well as your students. Napoleon Bonaparte once said that ‘ability is of little account without opportunity.’ I hope that you will seize this opportunity to allow [SCSL] to help develop the God given ability within your students.”

 

 

“I truly believe that [SCSL] is one of the premier ministry training institutions in the country. I have seen first hand the impact that this ministry has on the lives of students and young adults. Pastor Darren and his team are passionate about equipping their students for ministry and for life. If you are serious about being personally challenged this is the fit for you!”
