Church Leadership

For a companion series by Roger Pascoe on Christian Leadership check out his series on Biblical Models Of Christian Leadership.

When discussing the topic of the philosophy of church leadership, we must understand first and foremost that we don’t make this up. We don’t sit down and try to put together our own philosophy or mission. Rather, we seek to follow the mandate for the church and its leaders as set out in the Scriptures.

It is imperative that, as pastors and church leaders, we understand and be able to articulate a biblical philosophy of ministry, since that is our vocation - if we don’t know what ministry is about, how can we effectively do it? Since the church is the entity in which we conduct our ministry, we need to understand the biblical theology of the church and its ministry in order to be able to lead it in conformity with its biblical mandate.
