The church's mission, argues Reggie McNeal, engages every aspect
of life. The front lines of the collision between the kingdom of
light and the kingdom of darkness are homes, schools, offices,
health clubs, civic organizations, and neighborhoods - wherever
God's people find themselves. Equipping the church for this mission
can no longer be the responsibility solely of professional clergy.
A new team of leaders, drawn from the membership of each
congregation, must arise to meet the challenges that ministry in
the third millennium will present. Yet where and how will these
leaders be trained?
For the answer to this question, McNeal looks to the first
generation of leaders - the disciples gathered around Jesus in a
unique learning community. Like that earliest group of Christian
learners, our churches must become centers of continual and ongoing
learning; they must see the training of a local lay leadership as
the starting point for all their ministries.
Drawing on the New Testament picture of the learning community
that gathered around Jesus as his explicit model, McNeal offers
useful and practical guidance on how churches can recruit, train,
and commission leaders from within their own ranks.
