Standard Model of Pastoral Leadership

“2nd” Wave Model of Pastoral Leadership

   
1. Meet the needs of the flock through:

1. Your primary commitment is to follow Christ through:

  • Visitation

 

  • Availability

 

  • Counseling

 

  • Crisis care

                        

                                                 

  • Faithful devotional living

 

  • Fidelity to your family

 

  • Visionary leadership of the flock

2. Administer the Organization through:

2. You are foremost an Ephesians 4 pastor equipping the laity to:

  • Heavy committee involvement

 

  • Continual administrative detail

 

  • Filling positions within the structure.
  • Visit

 

  • Counsel

 

  • Provide care

 

  • Flow in their spiritual gifts

3. Preach/Teach

3. Out of devotional living flows

  • little time given to study and preparation
  • preaching/teaching that feeds the flock

 

  • direction in common and in private that inspirationally leads the flock forward in Christ

4. Some directed programming:

4.  Ministry arises out of the local church through:

  • mostly canned, handed down programs

 

  • very little time left for directed programming

  • laity discovering and exercising their spiritual gifts

 

  • local body consciously seeking God’s direction through prayer

 

  • decreasing administrative groups and increasing ministry groups

5. Ministry Beyond the local church:

5.  The local church then becomes a light house for its region.

  • Some community involvement

 

  • Some connectional involvement

  • it blesses its community

 

  • it blesses its Annual Conference

 

  • it blesses the world
