Ministry Department Leader Course
About Lesson

Summary

  • Discipleship Comes First: Ministry leaders are first and foremost disciples of Jesus. Leadership does not replace the need for personal spiritual growth.
  • Godliness Matters: Leaders must nurture their walk with God. Being busy with ministry must not lead to neglecting Scripture, prayer, and church fellowship.
  • Discipling Team Leaders: Leaders are encouraged to care for their team leaders spiritually, not just administratively—through prayer, Bible study, and personal check-ins.
  • Practical Discipleship Ideas: Ask team leaders personal spiritual questions, share Scripture during meetings, and encourage open, informal faith conversations.
  • Cultivate a Discipling Culture: Leaders must model discipleship for their team leaders, who should then do the same for their own teams.
