Church leaders today increasingly base their ministries on secular principles rather than the timeless principles of God’s Word.
The strength of the New Testament church came not from a few professionally trained leaders at the top, but from willing church volunteers who were each strategically placed to use their gifts in service of their Lord. Whether you are a pastor, Christian education director, youth worker, children’s director, teacher, or other ministry leader, this book will help you grow in self-perception, skills, and vision as a leader. Empower others to lead as you train, mentor, and mobilize teams for ministry.
