John Maxwell states, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” It’s a simple maxim with a host of questions and implications that follow. What criteria do we use to choose our leader? Or is it Leaders? Is a Pastor the default leader or someone else? What is the nature of that leadership? What is the makeup of that leader? Are we free to choose whom we’d like or are there restrictions, a design, a model? Are the leaders free to lead however they want or is there a design to that too? What exactly should church leadership look like, what are its tasks, and how should it lead?
