Getting leadership right matters, especially when it comes to
the local church. Who leads and how they lead can bring great
blessing or serious detriment to the life and witness of God’s
gathered people. In Independent Eldership, Stephen Kneale
traces the biblical picture of what eldership is, how it relates
to congregational government, and how this office can be
effectively fulfilled in the life of the local church.
Scripturally moored and practically applied, the truths in this
book are designed to help everyone in the church understand
who should lead them and what this leadership looks like in
practical terms. Topics such as the relationship of elders to their
families, to the church, and to their own growth and welfare as
Christians are explored with insight and ready applicability. As
part of the ‘A People on Purpose’ series of titles, Independent
Eldership is an ideal resource for informing church members,
equipping eldership teams, and providing training for future
leaders.
