DESCRIPTION
An Elder’s Playbook: A Practical Guide to Move your Team Forward
We’re all on the same team together, following the same leader – Jesus. We oppose one, single enemy of our team – Satan. Jesus came to destroy the enemy’s work, and our team must work together in hopes of defeating our solitary opponent.
But it may feel as if your congregation is going it alone, buffeted by one challenge after another. This compendium has been written to help you move your church and her leadership team “down the field” to make Jesus the Famous One in your corner of the world – and push back the kingdom of darkness.
