This easy-to-read handbook addresses practical issues that typically confront lay church leaders, otherwise known as board members or deacons. Here you will find relevant help to equip leaders for the challenge of both ministering in their congregation and giving support and guidance to their pastor.
Deacon Ministry provides them with suggestions for personal interaction and problem solving, along with real-life stories. Your leaders will also explore topics that range from the biblical basis for ministry and New Testament qualifications to typical areas of service and conflict management.
