As a core component of our year long Pastoral Theology module, over 10 Monday evenings in the spring we are going to take an in-depth look at the biblical teaching on church leadership structures and roles and we are making these sessions open to anyone, anywhere.   Led by our Principal, John Brand, we will be examining what Scripture has to say about who should be in leadership roles in the local church, what sort of people they should be and what their work involves.   We’ll look at different models of leadership structures and consider their strengths and weaknesses, we’ll look at how to identify and prepare the right people for the right roles in the local church and consider what happens when it all goes wrong as, tragically, it does all too often. If you are already in a leadership role, or perhaps see yourself in such a role in the future, then this is for you.
