When Are Christian Leaders
At Their Best? When leaders are really leading When leaders exhibit godly character When leaders are working in tandem
with God When leaders are raising up other
leaders around them– “. . . some to be pastors and teachers to
prepare [equip] God’s people for works of service . . .” (Ephesians 4:12)
– Creating a “leadership culture”

What Is Effective Christian Leadership?
“Effective leadership begins with an intimate relationship with God, resulting in Christlike character and a clear sense of God’s calling for leader’s lives. As this base of spiritual maturity increases, effective leaders multiply, guide, empower and equip disciples to realize their full potential in Christ and work together to accomplish God’s vision.” --Logan & Clegg, Releasing Your Church’s Potential

The Truth AboutEffective Leaders*
Your Christian walk and ministry has been shaped by those who model ministry for you
Modeling transforms only as it flows out of intimacy with God
People are pastor/leader watchers: whatever they see you doing is what is important– “The sermon [or lesson] that impacts is the
one that you live.”
*From Logan and Clegg, Releasing Your Church’s Potential, p2-6.

Developing A Church-Wide

principle that the priority of leadership is to equip others to do ministry
Believe that our ministries will only grow as “deep as the depth of our leadership and only as broad as the breadth of our leadership” (Logan, 2-11)
