Developing
a Dynamic Mission for Your Ministry |
|
| The act of leadership
is fundamentally the act of articulating a ministry mission
statement and then pursuing it. Therefore, the purpose of
this book is to help you as a leader develop and articulate
a definitive and well-thought-out mission statement for your
ministry. |

Developing
a Vision for Ministry in the 21st Century, 2nd Edt. |
|
| Leaders are energized
by vision. This book presents guidelines for turning up the
energy level of visionary goal-setting. Dr. Malphurs shows
how to define unique, realistic, and appropriate goals. Worksheets,
biblical examples, and illustrations from life help to clarify
principles for pastors, church planters and laypeople who
want to become purposeful strategists in churches, parachurch
organizations, and denominations. |

Doing Church |
|
| Why do so many churches
interpret and apply the Bible differently when it comes to
ministry? Is it good to change ministry models to fit the
changing culture or should we stick with traditional methods?
As the church enters a new century and millennium, it finds
itself awash in an ocean of cultural change. Some churches
have jettisoned long-held models of ministry while others
insist that such changes violate biblical truths. What is
the biblical model for ministry? |

The
Dynamics of Church Leadership |
|
| Pastoring a church
is full of challenges. A hectic schedule and the ever-changing,
unpredictable needs of the congregation can keep a pastor
going at full-speed. The Dynamics of Church Leadership offers
pastors a chance to slow down and reflect on their methods
and styles of leadership. |

Leading
Leaders |
|
| The key to effective
leadership in the vast majority of today's churches lies
as much with their governing boards as it does with their
pastor. But many churches are lead by those who volunteer
to chair committees because there is a need, yet they have
no leadership training to speak of. How well-meaning but
sometimes ill-prepared lay people guide the path of a church
body? The secret lies in offering effective, practical
training. Leadership expert Aubrey Malphurs provides this in Leading
Leaders. Filling a gaping hole in leadership literature, Malphurs
offers workable strategies to train laypeople to successfully lead
their churches. |

Maximizing
Your Effectiveness |
|
| Written for lay people
and professionals who want to increase personal effectiveness,
this book is about beating the statistics and finding a fit
in Christ's Kingdom. Maximizing you effectiveness takes more
self-discovery than just recognizing spiritual gifts. Dr.
Malphurs has assembled talent inventories, interest surveys,
worksheets and information needed to determine your personal
design and vision for ministry and he offers guidance in
developing your training plan. |

Ministry
Nuts & Bolts |
|
| A careful analysis
of the primary areas of struggle for pastors reveals that
pastoral training programs have neglected 4 foundational
ministry concepts – values, mission, vision and strategy.
Pastors and congregations often fail to agree upon a set
of core values that provide unity. A lack of direction means
a lack of mission. And a church without either core values
or mission will lack both a vision and a strategy to minister
to the surrounding culture. In this book, Dr. Malphurs examines
these four vital concepts and demonstrates how to implement
them in local church ministry. |
