How important is leadership to a local church?
"Everything rises and falls on leadership."
– John Maxwell
Think about it – EVERYTHING in your church requires leadership.
Effective leadership is the cornerstone of a thriving church. Churches remain mission-focused, navigate challenges with wisdom, and build a vibrant, impactful community through strong pastoral leadership.
Church leaders are responsible for:
- Theological direction.
- Mission and vision.
- Peaching and communication.
- Discipleship pathways and spiritual growth opportunities.
- Staff and volunteer recruitment and training.
- Financial stewardship.
- Community engagement.
