Equipping Elders to Disciple the Church: A Team Approach to Shepherding
The New Testament shows that elders, carefully chosen and vetted according to Scriptural qualifications, have been called by the Holy Spirit to shepherd Christ’s church. When adequately equipped and given the opportunity to rise to the level of their calling, elders become effective disciple-makers who graciously and humbly enrich the spiritual life of the congregation.
