Who is in charge? What are elders responsible for? How can we build trust between the pastor and elders? How can we hold one another accountable? If these questions sound familiar, it's because every church struggles at times with knowing how to foster a healthy relationship between pastors and elders. The relationship between leaders in the congregation is an important factor in the well-being of the church. A twenty-one-year veteran of the pastoral office, author Timothy Mech defines the roles and responsibilities of each position, outlines where authority should lie, and provides recommendations of how to build trust and accountability within the congregation. This training manual includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter, along with helpful resources, such as sample meeting agendas, reports, templates for congregational letters, and much more. Together with the companion DVD, Pastors and Elders provides the Lutheran congregation with strategies for leaders to work effectively as a team for the sake of the Lord and His Church. Book jacket.

What They're Saying In "How Does This Work?" James Travis gives a Biblical and historical survey that will be helpful for any pastor and leadership team. He capably makes the case for pastoral leadership that avoids the pitfalls of lone leadership. The "notes" portions after every chapter make this a perfect book for a pastor to work through with his leadership team. David Guzik Pastor, Bible Teacher, Author of the Enduring Word Commentary James has hit the nail on the head in "How Does This Work?"' with one fell swoop. You cannot be a leader without others following you. When you understand that you are now the leader, you realise rather quickly that you cannot do this alone. Scripture is clear, and James brings this out, that God did not intend for you to lead by yourself. Oh, you carry the responsibility, but you cannot and should not go at it alone. Jesus is the Chief Shepherd for sure, but He calls leaders like you to shepherd the flock of God. Pastor Zeke Flores Calvary Chapel Phelan This book is edifying and scholarly. Every pastor should have this tool in their tool box as they work hand in hand with church elders. The goal is to build a church that is good for the people and for glorifying God. "How Does This Work?" greatly aids this worthy task. Pastor Jeff Gipe CGN Executive Team Author of "Contented" Church leadership is a team sport, not a solo pursuit. Within that team there are different yet complementary roles. In this short and accessible book those who are looking for clarity on the role of pastors and elders will find it: how do these two honoured offices of local church leadership work together, simply, how does this work? In addition to being personal this book is also practical. At the very least it will get you thinking and talking about the local church that you are currently called to serve in, and that has to be a good thing!

Kevin is a preaching elder in an Associated Gospel Church in Canada (AGC). Their elders have had a growing influence on other congregations and have frequently been asked to share their effective shepherding-elder model. So, how do you grow elders? Many pastors are looking for another program or quick fix to accomplish this end. However, the answer is rooted in the theology of ministry and the need to focus on the biblical mandate given to pastors rather than the tyranny of expectations inherent in pastor-led churches.This book is designed to help senior pastors walk through a process of deconstructing their understanding of pastoring and redirect them to a focused ministry within a plurality of shepherd-elders.About the Author: Kevin Mahon has been the preaching elder at Peoples Church, Sarnia-Lambton, since 1999. At the age of thirteen, he made a bargain with God and promised to become a priest. He and his wife were born again during their university days and joined the priesthood of all believers. God was faithful in shepherding that youthful promise made by Kevin, who now makes his living from the Gospel as a preaching pastor.Kevin s heart is for the local church, for preaching God s Word, and for growing men as disciples of the Lord. He has been married to Charlene for twenty-six years and has five children and a daughter-in-law

Elders Lead a Healthy Family explores the biblical paradigm for shared leadership: elders as the spiritual "big brothers" and shepherds to the family of God. This book is a fresh biblical alternative to the standard fare of pragmatic church leadership. Delivered in a winsome and irenic style, the book addresses the key concerns of our day, including pastoral burnout, women as elders, women and the pastoral gift, power in leadership, abuse of power in ministry, ministerial pay, and fostering missional-leadership structures. The answer to so many of the problems facing the church is not more coaching or better education. The answer requires our churches to change the very structures that foster abuse, isolation, and burnout. If we hope to save our pastors, then we need our pastors to abandon the "pastor-as-CEO" model of leadership. If we want to reach the lost, we need a systemic change in the way we plant, grow, and maintain our churches. Instead of putting a solo leader at the top of "Church Incorporated," we need to build teams of elders, doing ministry together, as they lead the family of God.

In 1980 the little church Harry Ramey was pastoring in Missouri suffered a church split (which is as close to hell as you can get on a pew). There was no immorality or misconduct involved. At theepicenter of his ?churchquake? were questions of authority: who are elders? What is an elder? Arethe elders over the pastor? He did some research. He concluded that only pastors are elders! There is no such thing as a lay-elder. He believe that pastors should appoint board members; that boards should not be able to fire pastors. This book defines terms like elder, pastor, bishop, deacon and apostle. He sets aside church tradition and look to the original Greek the Bible was written in. He comes down hard on the side of the pastor. But I also take several chapters to balance out theposition. Democracy, by the way, is not a scriptural way to govern the church!
