The work of congregational leadership is a complex and challenging call.
Nonetheless, by the grace and prompting of God, shepherd and elders respond to this call in various ways. This response includes the commitment to mature personally and communally as disciples of Jesus Christ and to develop an understanding of personal identity in light of God's leadership. Congregational leadership also requires pastoral care, hope-filled visioning, effective governance, and above all else, practicing wisdom in all things.
Since these characteristics are essential to effective leadership, congregational leaders should seek to excel in them all. This video series provides practical and meaningful resources for church leaders as they strive to grow in each of these six areas. The series comprises six segments of 15-18 minutes each.
