Achieving Effective Shepherding in Your Church
Written by Timothy Z. Witmer
Leaders in the church are called to be shepherds, not a board of directors. This requires involvement in a personal shepherding ministry among the people. This volume unpacks the four primary ministries of shepherds -knowing, feeding, leading, and protecting- on macro (church wide) and micro (personal) levels, providing seven elements to be incorporated into an effective shepherding plan.
Paperback, 268 pages, Notes, Index of Scripture, Sample forms to track oversight and ministry, lists of helpful books for further study, especially by ministers, elders and deacons.
