The Truth About Good Christian Leadership

Our mission is to lead with integrity, compassion and humility by leading, teaching and equipping believers for leadership and impact in their spheres of influence. Here is an overview of what it means to lead with “good” Christian leadership.

Arm ourselves with knowledge through great leadership. We provide the steps necessary to develop good Christian leadership to expand the influence and authority of God's kingdom on earth. Let's learn to be good leaders appointed by God.

Leadership is crucial to the progress of every organization. Without good and effective leadership, it is nearly impossible for a group or organization to thrive. Leadership can make or break a team. A church without committed and devoted leaders is in a difficult situation. The Church needs good Christian leadership. Even God, since the Old Testament had appointed faithful leaders to lead his chosen people. Although he never chose perfect leaders, God chooses those whose faith and heart are in him. From Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Deborah, Saul, David, Solomon and Esther to the apostles who boldly preached the gospel, God had chosen faithful and powerful leaders to lead his people.

God chose them to carry out certain purposes for his glory. The Lord calls Christian leaders today to bear the same fire for His glorious name. A leader in the Church is not just the pastor. Christian leadership is about multiple leaders and potential leaders from different ministries and departments working together. The Church should always be looking for good Christian leaders to guide and lead the members of the Church in the right direction. Most church leaders today are overworked.

Jesus' style of leadership is quite different from the world's point of view. Jesus debunked various practices of the Israelites, especially that of the Pharisees and Sadducees. He corrected the concepts of the world regarding important matters, including leadership. When the world says that leadership is about power and influence; the Lord speaks of character and service. Jesus' style of leadership proves his power with his influence as he has survived and thrived over the past 2000 years. Even today, despite the ever-changing culture and ever-present challenges, Jesus' style of leadership has been most effective. We can learn good Christian leadership by examining the life of Jesus Christ.

Servant leadership is Jesus' revolutionary style of leadership. This way of leading people has shifted the focus of leadership from leaders to those they lead. It changes the way leadership is initially viewed as a position above ordinary people to acts of service below ordinary people. The Christian leadership that Jesus modeled was not the prestige of being a leader that the leaders of the Church of Israel tried to impress on his people. From a great height, Jesus brought down the leadership to reach the people who are at the bottom. He stooped just as low, being born in a manger to a carpenter's son so his followers would know what it means to be great.

When the disciples were exasperated by a request from James and John's mother, the Lord spoke the best key points about humility and greatness (Matthew 20:20-28). She wants her sons to be seated to the right and left of Jesus' throne.
