Karl, Andre and Bob – Elders in our Church
God-ordained leadership in the church is placed upon godly disciplemakers who are called to serve as elders.
As I planted Lake Hills Church, I realized that we couldn’t just hope that spiritually qualified elders from others churches would join us. It was imperative that we raised up godly elders from among our church family.
Be Intentional!
In preparation for serving as elders, we initiated a 10-month development process that focused each month on a different quality that elders would need as they served the church family.
➢ Thinking Biblically
➢ Living Missionally
➢ Caring Personally
➢ Nurturing Spiritually
➢ Praying Fervently
➢ Giving Generously
➢ Teaching Practically
➢ Disciplining/Restoring Lovingly
➢ Leading Intentionally
➢ Serving Faithfully
Be Focused!
Each month as elders-in-training gather, utilize the time for studying God’s Word, developing individual skills, sharing a meal and praying for one another!
