How Can I Become a Leader in My Churchનમૂનો

Desiring to Lead in a Faithful Way 

So, you are a Christian and you desire to lead. You examined your heart and you know that you want to lead for the right reasons. You want to glorify God with the gift He gave you. You desire a noble task of church oversight with noble motives. You want to serve the Kingdom of God. Now, how does one take the next step into a leadership role? How does one get into the office of a leader or an overseer at a local church? The answer is faithfulness. The qualifications that the Scriptures list for leadership already show that people are recognized as worthy of leadership positions when they are faithful to God. The way to aspire to leadership is to aspire to faithfulness. 

Just be faithful wherever God puts you. Serve the Lord. Serve others. The Scripture promises us that someone who is faithful in little will be set over much. Someone who is faithful over a few things will be made a leader over many things. If you desire to be a worship director, start by faithfully serving on a worship team. Learn how to play an instrument if you have not mastered one yet. Take voice classes. Come to every rehearsal. Become the best member of the worship team. If you do that for several years, your faithfulness will be noticed and rewarded. Your elder or your pastor will ask if you want to lead a worship service. Start small and be faithful. 

You also need to be faithful in your personal spiritual walk with the Lord. Being a church leader is more than being a leader in any other organization. You need to be skilled in the position you desire, such as singing, public speaking, or teaching. However, you also need to be spiritually mature. That means that you need to read the Word of God daily. You need to pray daily. To be a spiritual leader, you must be faithful in your area of giftedness as well as have spiritual maturity. When you practice spiritual discipline and apply yourself diligently to the ministry of the church where you want to serve, you will be promoted. God promised in His Word that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Be faithful and God will reward you with leadership.
