Building Leaders

Publisher Description

Training the next generation of leaders is crucial to spreading the gospel, yet most churches have no formal way of doing this. Why? Tight budgets, small staffs, and a lack of know-how are just a few reasons suggested by church consultants Aubrey Malphurs and William Mancini in this groundbreaking book.

BUILDING LEADERS provides real-life examples of ways churches can unleash their true ministry potential by training staff members and laypeople to lead. With step-by-step instructions that can be applied to any church or parachurch ministry, BUILDING LEADERS shows readers how to:

• empower, not just train, leaders

• overcome obstacles to developing leaders

• identify emerging leaders

• use biblical models for training leaders

• form a leadership training program to fit any size or budget

Packed with surveys, discussion questions, and a leadership development guide, BUILDING LEADERS will encourage leaders to "duplicate themselves" in order to see their ministry grow. It is a perfect resource for ministry students, church leaders, and pastors.
