Dr. Peter identifies the theological and practical reasons for organizing staff, lay officers, and congregational volunteers. He presents three dominant models for organizing churches and identifies the advantages and disadvantages of each. This book guides church officers to maximize the effectiveness of their congregations' organizational design. It equips board leaders for fruitful service to the Lord and His people. Pastors, professional staff workers, congregational officers, church council members, and board members will gain insights and best practices for more effective leadership of their churches. The book is also an appropriate primer on congregational organization for students preparing for parish ministry"-- _cProvided by publisher.
