I happened upon this great article from Jon Tyson, the lead pastor of Origins Church in New York City. At it's heart is what it means to lead in the church. It doesn't matter if you are an elder, deacon, pastor, lay leader, or a volunteer who serves once a month, Tyson says there is one characteristic that is required of leaders.
Charisma? Leadership skills? Teaching gifts? Nah. See, leadership in the church is about making The Church beautiful, like the Bride of Christ she is called to be. So what is the required characteristic?
"Leadership in the church is more than just matching gifts with passion, or desire with opportunity. Leadership in the church is about nobility. In other words, it takes that which is noble to produce that which is beautiful."
Please go here to read the whole article. I promise, it's five minutes you won't regret.
Peace.
