The New Elder's Handbook: A Biblical Guide to Developing Faithful Leaders Tapa blanda - 2018

Descripción de contraportada

A proven process to proactively call and train church elders

Pastors and church leaders are in need of mature, godly elders to ensure church health, but the training of elders is often entirely missing or badly neglected. The New Elder's Handbook is designed to equip elders with the knowledge, character, and skills the office calls for. It takes church leaders through the development of a vision for ministry, recruitment of elders to carry out that vision, and specific, biblical training to intentionally develop elders.

"A skillfully designed resource for pastors and church leaders who are serious about developing the next generation of church leaders for their congregations. With its focus on vision, training, discipling, and selection, this thoughtful handbook provides invaluable guidance for the formation of faithful leaders."--David S. Dockery, president, Trinity International University / Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
