Product Overview
It is important that the work of developing and supporting spiritual leaders in a church is a shared responsibility; pastors, sessions (boards of deacons if applicable), and members of the congregation all have their parts to play. Spiritual leaders can flourish only when these nurturing practices and the attitudes that support them work their way into the fabric of a congregation's life. While there may be no simple formula for ensuring that all church officers become effective leaders, there are practices that can increase the chances for a positive experience. This study will highlight some of the most important practices and provide ideas about how to help officers succeed and grow within a congregation.
