What we've heard about elders' meetings makes us cringe. Trivial agendas, power struggles, apathy, and weak leadership. Most claim the biggest challenge to effective shepherding is learning to work together. But it doesn't have to be that way! The work of the elders is too important to be conducted ineffectively. Rather, their spiritual strength and wise leadership should be driving the spiritual growth of the church. And it all starts with the meetings. Meetings That Work will help you bring vitality to your meetings and strength to your relationships as you work through the storms and struggles of normal church life together (worship wars, church discipline, doctrinal disputes, and so on). Short and practical, this book will lead to immediate improvements in your elder meetings.
