1. Leadership Development “The work of the gifted ones is …” … for the perfecting of the saints … for the work of the ministry … for the edifying of the body of Christ

Leadership Development “The work of the gifted ones is …” … to prepare God’s people … to do the works of service … that the body of Christ might be built up.

Leadership Development “The work of the gifted ones is …” Many church pastors fail to train new workers. Is my leadership style reproducible?

Leadership Development “The work of the gifted ones is …” Concentrate on empowering Christians for ministry. Assist members Invest time in equipping Multiplying workers

2. Worship Worship is defined as meeting God. Worship is critical to the life and vitality of a church. Corporate worship is often first point of contact for new people.

Worship Ideally it is highest experience of worship. Leaders help members understand and experience personal and family worship.

3. Evangelism The first element is prayer.

Evangelism The first element is prayer. The church pastor must model evangelism.

Evangelism The church needs a process to identify, cultivate and track prospects. The church must have a plan to mobilize members for the task of evangelism.

Evangelism (cont.) An ongoing plan to train members in evangelism is critical. Any effective evangelism strategy has a plan to deploy the trained members into the field.

Evangelism (cont.) The church needs an effective plan to follow-up and disciple those who accept Jesus as Savior and Lord.

4. Relationships The church is a social, relational organization. Church needs structures to assist in developing and strengthening relationships

Relationships Church is creating community. Churches that fail to start new groups have decided to die. The by-product of healthy group life is the multiplication of leadership.

5. Relevant Structures The Bible does not give specific structure. Structures exist to impact not to impair ministry.

Relevant Structures Effective congregations conserve members time by developing minimal and streamlined organizations.

6. Stewardship & Financial Two mistakes: Stewardship is ignored or dealt with only in terms of money.

Stewardship & Financial Two mistakes: stewardship is ignored or dealt with only in terms of money. Whatever you want at the end, build in at the beginning.

Stewardship & Financial Stewardship defined as managing all the resources entrusted by God. Church’s budgeting and accounting needs to inspire confidence.
