Welcome to the study of leadership skills. The course will guide you to a greater understanding of the nature of leadership and the principles you can apply to grow as a leader. Such principles become the tools a leader needs to provide effective leadership for the local church.
It has been wisely noted that everything rises and falls on leadership. While programs and activities can keep people active and good preaching can maintain their interest, it is leadership that establishes growth, both in the individual and in the church itself. Simply put, church leaders must truly learn how to be effective leaders.
In Unit 1 of this study, the content will focus on the spiritual formation of a leader. We will discover the
qualities necessary to be a godly leader. The rst chapter focuses on our ability to lead ourselves while the
following chapter de nes the heart a leader must possess. Other chapters discuss the nature of the calling
to lead and blend illustrations from biblical leaders with the personal experiences of the author. The unit
concludes with a look at how God develops a leader through various times of testing. Indeed, such tests will be
ongoing through the life journey of the leader.
