LESSON 1.5

THE LOCAL CHURCH – Plurality in Leadership

God's design for leadership in any local church is a plurality of biblically qualified, mutually accountable men who shepherd, equip, and oversee the spiritual health of the body. These men understand that they are simply under-shepherds of the Chief Shepherd and guardian of our souls, Jesus Christ.
