Plant the spiritual roots of sound leadership principles in your leaders through Basic Leader Training from Lay Renewal Ministries.

What is BLT?

Basic Leader Training is an equipping workshop to help church leaders better understand the purpose for the church and the key functions of a healthy church. Focus is placed on the leaders as models of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 5:1-4). God’s purpose and plan for the church are emphasized. Practical lay led ministries are explained.

Who Should Attend?

The pastors, professional staff and lay leaders, should attend. In addition, those members exhibiting Biblical leadership qualities should be invited. Spouses of church leaders are encouraged to take part.

What is the basis of the workshop?

The Bible, as God’s guide for the church and for us as members, is the textbook for the retreat. By understanding that God has already given us a manual for church leadership, we can relax and stop trying to construct our own church plan. We can begin to seek His plan. As we begin to work based on the Lord’s power rather than our own, our success as leaders will be assured.

Basic Leader Training will help your leaders to understand the purpose of the church and their God ordained part of His plan. They will be taught the basic principles of scriptural leadership and how to apply those principles to church work and to specific ministries. Your Lay Renewal Ministries leader will encourage, equip and challenge your leaders to consider their high calling.

How practical is the material?

In addition to developing a clear understanding of God’s plan for the church, the workshop will help your leadership team understand practical ideas for developing workable ministries. It will show how to help members grow in their faith and establish firm commitments to the work of the church. LRM provides continuing resources for follow up.

What preparation is required?

Church leaders should be encouraged to pray for God’s Spirit to show them their place in the work of the church. A study of the qualifications for church leaders in 1 Timothy chapter 3 and Titus will establish a foundation for the workshop. Leaders will also complete a simple survey prior to the workshop.
