Growing Church Leaders is a tool for pastors and others in active ministry who want to nurture the next generation of leaders to:
- think biblically
- live wisely
- serve faithfully
Each of those three topics is covered in a separate module of twelve lessons each. Every lesson includes:
- scripture to memorize
- assigned readings from classic Christian books
- devotional time, typically from Psalms or Proverbs
- interlinear bible study covering an entire chapter
- discussion questions
- RAW (Repent, Act, Worship) challenges
The goal of all this is to teach theology, character formation, and christian disciplines in context. Specifically, in the context of:
- the whole counsel of Scripture
- existing pastoral relationships
- the local church
- loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength
Our prayer is that existing leaders will use this as a vehicle to pass their values and vision on to the next generation, by meeting on a weekly basis for nine months with “faithful men and women, who will in turn pass it on to others.”
