Product Description
The leaders of a contemporary local church face many challenges as they discern God’s will and guidance for the local church, its congregation, and the community that it serves. The role of the local church in proclaiming God’s message of salvation and providing fellowship opportunities for its members is clear in the Scriptures, as is the role and responsibilities of church leaders. The role of the local church and its leaders must be fully understood, embraced, and enacted by both its leaders and congregation.
This book is intended to serve as a practical guide for use by pastoral and lay leaders committed to preparing their church and congregation to proclaim God locally and worldwide. It is designed to provide church leaders with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to develop and implement strategic plans that incorporate visionary, biblically-based leadership, and stewardship of the resources that God has and will provide as the local church pursues its pilgrimage in fulfilling The Great Commission.
