A. Goal of Seminar: To discuss church leadership as it is outlined in the New Testament. We will present only those things: that are outlined in the word of God.

B. Objectives: To establish that God’s plan and provisions for the church: is incomplete without a sound and faithful leadership. This seminar enables the church to plan and aspire unto its fullest potential; in the work of evangelism and edification. Leadership in the church is the divine will of God. This LTS will assist the church in identifying, selecting and appointing leaders; to serve and provide loving oversight, to the people of God. It also offers guidance to the local ministers or evangelists, in the appointment of these men and their families, in the church. This is a hands-on seminar. Come to share, work and participate! We will work to answers all your questions; regarding the characteristics and qualifications for the church leaders (elders and deacons). All brothers desiring to serve the church; in a leadership capacity, should attend this Seminar.
