Although all believers are called to make disciples, not all are called, qualified or aspire to be a church leader. The Bible teaches that the primary qualification for leadership is godly character, not gifting or education. The multiplication of disciples generationally requires recognizing and developing new believers who are noticeably growing in character and skills and appointing them as church leaders before they are fully mature. Certain skills and knowledge are necessary for church leadership but simple church leadership is quite different than in a “traditional church” in that it is accessible to everyone. See our list of simple church leadership qualities below:
Growing in Perseverance, Availability, Teachability and Fruitfulness (2 Tim. 2:3-7).
Growing in love for God through daily pray-reading God's Word. (John 5:39)
Learning, living out and teaching others the 7 general commands of Jesus.
Keeping an updated oikos diagram and praying daily for them to repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
Learning and sharing Jesus stories with others, inviting them to lovingly obey Jesus Christ.
Gathering and leading a house church using the Discovery Bible Study method.
Learning and teaching introductory Bible studies of what a healthy church is and what it does.
