Liberating the Laity by R. Paul Stevens Pdf

Every church has far more work than any one person can do. Even a team of professionals is not enough. The New Testament solution was for every member to be a minister. Though the priesthood of all believers was a key idea in the Reformation, it is little practised today. Following secular models, churches usually organize around the clergy, who are paid by the laity to do the ministry. Paul Stevens argues that, according to Scripture, the primary task of a Christian leader is not to do the work but to equip the saints to do it. Exploring new options for pastors, tentmakers and laypeople, this book provides structures and strategies to best equip all the saints for ministry.

SACRIFICIAL SERVANT LEADER by PIOUS JOSEPH PAUL YANZUH Pdf

This book discusses how these lay persons are inspired to lead, serve, and nurture congregations. Using the model which Jesus taught on servant leadership – “the son of man came to serve and not to be served” (Matt 20:28; Mk 10:45), an exploration is conducted on the concept of servant leadership, the characteristics and behaviors of sacrificial servant leaders, and the environmental factors that motivate sacrificial servant leaders to be effective in the Church. The purpose of this book is to encourage and motivate leaders to be sacrificial servant leaders and to enhance an effective church ministry. In this contemporary era and more than ever before, there is a need for sacrificial servant leadership and team-work to cope with the needs of the congregation. However, I approach sacrificial Servant leadership as the process of serving followers towards growth through sacrificial and selfless stewardship based on the example of Jesus Christ viewed within the Christian faith. In essence, the concepts of “sacrificial”, “selflessness”, and “stewardship” are foundational and define the larger facets of sacrificial servant leadership.

Servant-Leader Discipleship by Juan Vallejo Pdf

This book begins by examining Jesus Christ's life and ministry as revealed in Scripture, with particular attention to references about God's love, the incarnation, the great commandment, the great commission, and being, doing, and the fruit of the Spirit. The biblical analysis findings demonstrate significant similarities between Jesus Christ's disciple-making leadership style and servant-leadership theory. He lived His life on earth as a servant-leader, exemplifying the fruit of the Spirit, Patterson's seven virtuous constructs of servant-leadership, and Spear's ten servant-leader characteristics found in Greenleaf's writings. Jesus reproduced Himself through an infinitely reproducible disciple-making system, which consists of learning to love God, learning to love people, and learning to make servant-leader disciples. He helped people grow into mature servant-leader disciples through a highly relational developmental process that is learner-centric and experience-based. This approach is what Dr. Vallejo coins as Servant-Leader Discipleship.The book also examines the art of making servant-leader disciples by focusing on servant-leadership theory, servant-leader discipleship, and ecclesial leader development. Dr. Vallejo highlights servant-leadership principles in Jesus Christ's disciple-making process to explain servant-leader discipleship. This servant-leader discipleship system involves the Holy Spirit, the servant-leader disciple-maker, and the potential servant-leader disciple. With the Holy Spirit's help, the disciple-maker equips the potential servant-leader disciple through instruction and modeling, creating "learning by doing" opportunities with a follow-up time of debriefing between them. This five-step process incrementally advances the servant-leader disciple from observer only to practitioner.The servant-leader discipleship system proves to be an excellent approach to disciple-making that equips people to grow in love for the work of service. Dr. Vallejo presents plenty of content that someone can implement within the framework of servant-leader discipleship, including the nine aspects of the fruit of the Spirit, Patterson's seven virtuous constructs, and Spear's ten servant-leader characteristics. Each servant-leader disciple-maker or disciple-making organization can integrate them as they see fit.The servant-leader discipleship system offers great flexibility to customize the content according to each servant-leader disciple's context. Dr. Vallejo recommends a threefold guideline for implementation. Christian ministries can apply these steps to produce an ongoing talent pool of servant-leader disciples and servant-leader disciple-makers.

Synergy by Ann A. Michel Pdf

The people are the church—not just the pastor. Yet, in many congregations there is a heavy imbalance in the ownership of ministry. Clergy and paid staff are seen as God’s agents in the world, and congregants as occasional participants. Sometimes, clergy and other leaders perpetuate this imbalance. Ann Michel presents a more inclusive, collaborative understanding of ministry, which affirms the gifts and calling of both clergy and lay servants. She uses the concept of “synergy” as a theological framework undergirding this approach. Michel lays out an inclusive and collaborative paradigm of ministry affirming the work of both lay and clergy servants. Synergy also provides practical advice on the day-to-day skills of synergistic or collaborative ministry – how to engage others in ministry, how to build teams, how to manage meetings, how to develop others as leaders, etc. The book helps church workers, paid and unpaid, understand how their ministry relates to the mission of God and the ministry of the church, and provides practical guidance on the interpersonal ministry skills essential to any expression of collaborative ministry. "Synergy is both a practical and deeply spiritual resource that helps provide a more collaborative way of thinking about ministry shared between clergy and laity. Ann has captured the challenges that can present themselves as laity serve in ministry not only from her research but also from her personal experience as a lay person and respected Seminary theologian, and she offers practical ways to equip laity to fully live in this call of lay servants and lay staff members. As a lay person who has served on a church staff for more than 23 years, understanding this synergistic energy articulated so well in Ann’s writing has reignited my passion and affirmed my call." - Debi Williams Nixon, Managing Executive Director, The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection

Developing a Servant Leadership Curriculum to Excite, Equip, and Empower Pastors and Church Leaders by Bernard P Goode Pdf

"Developing A Servant Leadership Curriculum To Excite, Equip And Empower Pastors And Church Leaders," authored by Dr. Bernard P. Goode is a must-read. It is the perfect tool to equip the saints in the body of Christ to become unified and better the overall team. This book focuses on the absence of servant leadership within Churches, which has caused an impediment in the church's growth both spiritually and numerically. Arguably, if the pastor and church leaders received leadership training in servant leadership, then they will be aware of their Biblical role and responsibility to be part of a team ministry. To move forward as a church, both pastor and church leaders must work-together as servants of Jesus Christ. Thus, this book will be used to train pastors and church leaders in becoming servant leaders in a team ministry.
