Take this free 5-minute assessment to evaluate your eldership effectiveness and your board's biblical health
The Hard Truth About Church Leadership
Scripture warns: "Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands" (1 Timothy 5:22). Yet many well-intentioned churches struggle with:
Unclear expectations about what biblical eldership actually requires
Good men in roles they're not yet equipped to handle well
Business management focus instead of shepherding and spiritual oversight
Limited accountability systems for ongoing leadership development
Difficulty addressing concerns when leadership patterns need adjustment
When Leadership Isn't Aligned with Scripture
Churches with unclear leadership standards often experience:
- Elder uncertainty about their biblical role and responsibilities
- Board conflicts from unclear decision-making processes
- Member concerns about leadership accountability and transparency
- Pastoral challenges in working with unprepared board members
- Missed opportunities for spiritual growth and effective shepherding
The encouraging truth? These challenges are addressable through biblical clarity and practical implementation.
