Download or read book Equipping the Senior Leaders of First Baptist Church of Merced to Cultivate Leadership Behaviors in People for Potential Leadership Positions written by Joel Dorman author and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this DMin project was to engage in qualitative research in equipping senior leaders at First Baptist Church of Merced in leadership behaviors that would cultivate potential leaders. The study was successful in producing people who were cultivated with effective leadership behaviors for potential leadership positions by equipping the people in existing senior leadership positions. For the process to be undertaken subsequently in this researcher’s congregation, the first Leadership Lab and the book studied during the mentoring phase needed to change. For other congregations to benefit from the process, additional instructions would need to be provided. Even under its current form, the project accomplished all of its goals. The project utilized a multi-phased approach to methodology. There was a survey and focus group discussion preceding a Leadership Lab involving the people in existing senior leadership positions. The purpose of the first phase was equipping the people in existing senior leadership positions with the skill necessary to equip others. In the second phase, the people in existing senior leadership positions recruited mentees to cultivate them for effective leadership behaviors in potential leadership positions. A “Field Guide” was provided for the mentors, and data were recorded through bi-weekly meetings of the researcher with the mentors and “Field Guides,” “Leadership Profiles,” focus groups, and formal and informal interviews. The results were evaluated, and modifications for future use were presented.

The selected group of deacons and leadership team members of First Baptist Gonzales participated in the project to discern God's call to leadership, His equipping of leadership, and His mission for leadership. The facilitator implemented the project training through twelve sessions. Participants first gained an understanding of the biblical foundations of leadership through a study of Old Testament and New Testament leadership. Then, the group examined modern day leadership principles in light of the biblical foundation established. Finally, participants were able to discern how God equipped them to serve. Many positives came as a result of this project. Several participants were able to return to their ministry teams with a new insight in servant leadership. The ministry team is now in the process of rediscovering its purpose and is being led by a class participant who is leading through service. Finally, First Baptist Gonzales instituted the Divine Servant Award to recognize outstanding achievement in service to the Kingdom of God

Download or read book Family Ministry Field Guide written by Timothy Paul Jones and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Scripture calls parents to train their children in the faith and to nurture their children's souls. Yet few parents actively engage in their children's spiritual development. How can churches best equip families to engage in their divine calling to disciple their children? Family ministry expert Dr. Timothy Paul Jones guides church leaders to develop a ministry system that equips parents to be the primary faith-trainers in their children's lives, moving beyond mere programming into a deeper spiritual life at home, within the church, and beyond. This resource is for leaders in the trenches--those who: see parents disengaging from their children's spiritual development; see too many students leave for college and drop out of church; have heard of 'family ministry, ' and just want to know more; or are frustrated with programmed ministries that fail to produce results. Based on solid research, this field guide unpacks how real-life churches can narrow the gap between present reality and the biblical ideal of faith-nurturing families"--Publisher description.

Download or read book As Christ Submits to the Church written by Alan G. Padgett and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible really say about gender, the ethics of submission, and male-female roles? In this book, well-regarded theologian Alan Padgett offers a fresh approach to the debate. Through his careful interpretation of Paul's letters and broader New Testament teaching, the author shows how Christ's submission to the church models an appropriate understanding of gender roles and servant leadership. As Christ submits to the church, so all Christians must submit to, serve, and care for one another. Padgett articulates a creative approach to mutual submission and explores its practical outworking in the church today, providing biblical and ethical affirmation for equality in leadership.
Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
