Steering the Church Toward God's Purposes Leadership Guide Download to Print One
Church leaders, how seriously do you take your responsibility to steer the church toward God's purposes?
Since Jesus points to loving God with all of who we are and loving our neighbor as ourselves as the Greatest Commandments, it makes sense to turn those commands into our church purpose. What greater responsibility can a leader have but to steer the church toward these purposes?
Order this guide, specifically geared toward church leaders, to examine if your leadership practices line up with God's purposes. It will help you examine if everything you do as a leader promotes and exemplifies love for God and people.
This church purpose transcends time and place so no matter where you live or what your background might be, this guide can help you tailor God's purposes to your own church or ministry. We may not all follow the same approach to carry it out, which is why you won't find step by step instruction or answers to every specific issue in the guide, but the basic principles can apply to Christian leaders everywhere.

Some of what we need to know about this topic has already been covered in the Church Purpose Ministry Manual. We do not want to repeat material already provided in another resource. This guide specifically looks at the topic through the eyes and responsibilities of leaders whereas parts of the Ministry Manual could be suitable for use with the entire church body if desired. Consider ordering the Church Purpose Bundle which includes both resources.
