Our 5 Step Plan
Leadership Development for Churches
This 5-Step Plan is a fundamental guide for churches, stressing the importance of cultivating leaders from within, regardless of size or demographic. It offers a straightforward framework for effective leadership development, suitable for those without a plan or those looking to assess their existing strategies.
Step 1
Understand and communicate the role of the local church, Baptist Association and regional organization (eg GWFC) in leadership development.
Step 2
Identify by name the emerging, developing and investing leaders in your church.
Step 3
The pastor, senior leaders or current supervising leader meet with each of the identified emerging, developing and investing leaders.
Step 4
Discuss next steps based on the current leadership journey of the individual.
Step 5
Conduct an annual review and determine further next steps for your identified leaders. Also identify new emerging leaders and complete steps 3 & 4 with them.
