LEC501‒ Ministerial Leadership & Ethics: Description

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

For far too long, the plumbline of leadership has tended to center around outward appearance, personality type and marketing effectiveness. But as Christian leaders, we are called to return to scripture for leadership guidance.

This course presents a scriptural analysis of the philosophy, history, qualifications, preparation, and practice of Christian leadership. The starting point and framework for each discussion is scripture, thus merging scriptural mandates with leadership principles. Expect a broad and deep discussion of what it means to be responsible for a group of followers.

The extensive and comprehensive course brings much insight, yet the text is easy to read and digest. Charts, diagrams and illustrations enhance this well-tested and taught study on Christian leadership.

Scripture and introspection come together powerfully to allow the best and blessed leader within you to emerge.
