Only those who meet God's qualifications can do God's work in God's way. In this practical and Scripture-saturated guide, Grace and Geoffrey Wambugu walk current and aspiring church elders through the high standards set forth in 1 Timothy and Titus—good reputation, faithfulness in family, self-discipline, financial integrity, and the ability to teach. From the five responsibilities God demands of His shepherds in Ezekiel 34—strengthening the weak, healing the sick, binding up the injured, bringing back the strays, and seeking the lost—to the five distinguishing features of New Testament eldership, this book restores the elder's noble standing as a pastor of the flock, not a mere board member. Whether you are an ordained minister or a lay leader, here is wisdom to make your holy ministry enjoyable, transformative, and pleasing to the Lord who called you.
