MODULE 3: Church Leadership
Church Leadership thoroughly explores the nature of leadership in the local church. Participants examine “What a Leader Is,” considering such themes as the essence of leadership, the spirituality of a leader, the leader’s character, authority, and their role as a team-player. They further investigate “What a Leader Does” under the categories of Shepherd, Leader, Equipper, and as a result, gain a clearer view of what a Christ-like church leader should do.
The approach to learning in Church Leadership is unique in many ways. One of the main points of distinction from other similar tools is that it is an ordered approach to learning. The module is made up of twelve issues:
Issues 1 – 6—Essence: What is the nature of Church leadership? A study of what an effective and God-honoring church leader IS.Issues 7 – 12—Task: What is the nature of Church Leadership? A study of what an effective and God-honoring church leader DOES
