Your Service Is Your Ministry. Gone are the days when Pastors pride themselves (and then complain) about being too busy for the Lord. Busy doing almost everything themselves; from preaching to teaching, to praying, visitation, evangelism, counselling and even leading the Worship. This situation results in the Pastor wearing himself out while other ministries or gifts in the local church are left undiscovered, undeveloped or are stifled altogether. This book gives some insight into how you, the church worker, can relieve and release your Pastor to concentrate on the main vision God has given him by faithfully and effectively undertaking your service or ministry in the local church - as God intends. "This excellent resource ... sets out a road-map for those who are serious about bringing their best to God ..." - John Glass (Former General Superintendent, Elim Pentecostal Churches UK)

This is a handbook for pastors, elders, and all Christians who want to see how Scripture presents the process of discipline that should operate in the Christian community. It was written in response to the various concerns that threaten to tear apart marriages, families, friendships, and congregations--concerns that call for a biblical approach to discipline that can heal fractures, restore right relationship, and ensure the health of the church. Developed around the five corrective steps found especially in Matthew 18:15-17, this book helps church leaders deal with the sorts of problems that require the church’s disciplinary response. Charting a course that combines discernment with appropriate action, this simple, readable handbook can have a profound effect on the community of believers.

What’s new about this third edition of the long respected and often used Church Administration Handbook? In addition to time and technological-sensitive updates to the basic organizational details, editor Bruce Powers writes: “The needs of people and churches have continued to change, with questions now being raised about the quality of congregational life, nature of leadership, and responsibility for ministry among all believers . . . As we have prepared this edition, we have sought to address five primary needs. 1. Leadership skills and administrative tools that can be adapted for use in a variety of contexts from traditional to contemporary, from rural to urban, and from unicultural to multicultural settings; 2. Spiritual formation that relates to all of life (from birth to death); 3. Mission consciousness (in community, regionally, nationally, and globally); 4. Ministry of all believers (particularly calling out and equipping vocational, bivocational, and lay ministers); and 5. Leadership competence (the ability to inspire, motivate, and equip the saints for the work of ministry).”
