Getting leadership right matters, especially when it comes tothe local church. Who leads and how they lead can bring greatblessing or serious detriment to the life and witness of God’sgathered people. In Independent Eldership, Stephen Knealetraces the biblical picture of what eldership is, how it relatesto congregational government, and how this office can beeffectively fulfilled in the life of the local church.Scripturally moored and practically applied, the truths in thisbook are designed to help everyone in the church understandwho should lead them and what this leadership looks like inpractical terms. Topics such as the relationship of elders to theirfamilies, to the church, and to their own growth and welfare asChristians are explored with insight and ready applicability. Aspart of the ‘A People on Purpose’ series of titles, IndependentEldership is an ideal resource for informing church members,equipping eldership teams, and providing training for futureleaders in how God gathers, governs and grows the church forhis own glory.
