Biblical Eldership Leadership (Interactive Study Guide)

The purpose of this material is to clarify the concept of leadership in the local church and thus help elders function effectively according to biblical teaching.

Trying to organize a discussion around the complete text of any book can be unproductive, and Biblical Eldership is no exception. Now, with the help of this interactive study guide, the elders in your local church can recall the principles of the book and apply them to the local situation.

By focusing on the most important points of Biblical Eldership, the Interactive Study Guide will help connect knowledge to application. Topics covered include:

• Why Church Government Is Important
• The Biblical Definition of an Elder
• The Four Primary Responsibilities of Elders
• Sharing Leadership Equally Among a Group of Men
• The Biblical Basis for Male Leadership in the Church
• The Importance of the Qualifications for Elders
• Elders in the Bible (Acts, 1 Timothy, Titus, 1 Peter, and other portions)
• Recognizing Elders in the Local Church
• The Special Relationship Between Elders and the Congregation

It is one thing to read about biblical leadership, but it is another to move from concept to practice. It requires a clear focus, an interactive study guide, and prayer in planning. This guide is designed to maintain that focus and assist in the planning process.
