Ministry Tools Resource Center --equipping believers for ministry
Leadership Ministry Training & Resources
For all types of ministry leaders in the church or parachurch organizations
called by God to serve in various capacities, facing unique challenges,
affecting church culture, and coming under the critique of God, self & others
Resources abound to help equip and provide ideas for today's church and ministry leaders. A variety or avenues exist for leaders to learn how to lead effectively.
Learn from other churches and ministries' experiences. Remember, though, to tailor what you do to the specific needs and resources of your group.
Learn from books and articles in journals and online. Remember, though, to filter all that you read through the grid of Scripture.
Learn from the wise counsel of others. Remember, though, to always seek God first.
Learn by trying new ideas to see what works. Remember, though, to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Learn from God Himself by yielding to the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. Remember, though, that God often does use a variety of means to teach you.
Below you will find a variety of resources covering a spectrum of issues leaders might face or practices they could implement. Be a more effective leader by learning from these resources but remember that even the best ideas are not good if God is not leading you to implement them in your church or ministry. Just because God blessed someone else who did it, doesn't mean it is right for you.
