description: The critical missing element in Christian mentoring today: the congregation Young emerging leaders of the church many of whom have gone through leadership training and traditional mentorship programs still too often find themselves unprepared for the realities of ministry. Many leave the ministry altogether overwhelmed. Phil Newton reveals a critical gap: single-source mentorship is incomplete. Mentoring must involve the congregation not just senior pastors in order to bring forth mature resilient leaders prepared for all that ministry entails. The solid practical solutions in The Mentoring Church offer churches of any size both the vision for mentoring future leaders and a workable template to follow. With insightful consideration of theological historical and contemporary training models for pastor/church partnerships Newton is a reliable guide to developing a church culture that equips fully prepared leaders.
