Every church needs leadership. But leadership should not reside in
a single pastor. The biblical model for church leadership is found
in teams of elders who together guide the community into God's
mission. Church leaders J.R. Briggs and Bob Hyatt provide a
comprehensive picture of elders as agents of mission for their
communities. Healthy eldership structures a church for mission, as
elder teams model the kind of community the local church is
intended to be and steward the gospel in a local context. Looking
at eldership through a missiological lens, Briggs and Hyatt unpack
the role, character and posture of a mission-oriented elder. Elders
oversee, shepherd, teach, equip and model for God?s people what
life with Jesus looks like in a particular context. Including a
study guide that elder teams can work through together, the authors
provide practical guidance for how elders are selected, work
together, make decisions, protect the congregation and invest in
the lives of others. Discover here a clear vision for what it means
to be a faithful elder. May it help you and your church thrive in
pursuing God's mission in the world.
