Elders as a team: Introduction

Elders as a team

This part of the course explores the importance of Elders working as a team - amongst themselves and with the wider church community.

1. Introduction

In this module you will explore how important teamwork is to the eldership role. You will be given the opportunity to explore how teamwork within the church stems back to New Testament times. You will also see that whilst teamwork is critical to the mission of the church, there are times when a dissenting voice is constructive and takes God’s mission forward.

In this module you will:

look at the responsibilities of Elders as a team
reflect on the teams that Elders are called to be a part of
consider the use of a 'dissenting voice' within a team
