We become what we say. How do you grow your church in its health
and mission? Sometimes our communities lack focus or vision. We
lose sight of our ministry priorities, or our people don't have
concrete reminders of why we do what we do. We need concise,
memorable tools for cultivating culture, communicating ministry
vision, and developing leaders. The language we use shapes our
communities. Pastors J.R. Briggs and Bob Hyatt share seventy-five
short and memorable mantras they use to cast vision, inspire
ministry, and create a healthy church culture. These brief chapters
provide a wealth of practical wisdom for leadership, discipleship,
community, and witness, embodying best practices with vivid stories
of on-the-ground ministry. These bite-sized ministry insights are
ideal for church leaders to discuss with their teams and implement
in their communities. They provide accessible handles for growing
the health of your local church, for the sake of the kingdom.
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.
