CFTROU 0011: My Church Needs More Leaders
Today we address something we have heard pastors say over and over again, “My church needs more leaders.” There are systems and structures that your church can put in place to develop, identify, and recruit leaders at all ages and stages of life. Every church can train more leaders and take people from the pew to the plant. It only takes one – just take someone with you!
Key Points:
- Vision and passion drive the need for leadership development.
- Churches can plant churches using the people who are sitting in our pews.
- Getting people to step up and lead requires putting systems in place to train more leaders.
- Learn how every ministry area can identify ways to develop leaders – kids, students, adults, and worship.
- Student interns are not just free labor; they are there so we can invest in them as people.
- Internships develop pools of leaders from which we can get new leaders.
- The purpose of a church planting residency program is to give ordinary people a path into ministry.
- Training people from all different walks of life for the ministry.
- Churches of all sizes can train leaders.
- Remind people of their calling and give them a way to see it through.
- Worship training attracts new talents and develops new leaders.
