Classroom Instructions

Lesson
  • Leadership has been a part of what God has always done.

  • One thing to figure out is...what is it?

There are 3 models of what we believe are church leadership; but 2 are not biblical, they’re cultural.

Two that are not biblical:

  • Storefront model:

    • activity that people want or need
    • personable
    • funnel example
    • running the activity is the primary (something is wrong when the church is looking for the same thing that happens with the storefront model)
  • Foreman model:

    • makes decisions (primary constitution)
  • The church is not built by these models; yes, you’ll do some of both models, but it is not the focus.

  • The call to be a leader is something different entirely; kingdom leadership involves a different calling.
