The Church
Leading the Church
A Church Governance Guide for New and Emerging Churches
Church leadership and governance traced from the New Testament to the present. Where the companion volume asks what the Church is built on, this asks how it is held together and led.
It is written for the moment when a congregation outgrows its founding circle and needs structures that protect both authority and accountability.
What this book argues
- Leadership in the Church is first a stewardship of trust, not a platform.
- The New Testament provides a durable pattern of oversight, plurality and accountability.
- Governance documents should make conflict and succession easier, not harder.
- Healthy churches build authority that outlasts any single leader.
