A recent survey asked questions regarding, “Priorities for Church
Pastors/Staff.” It listed ten issues that pastors believe will be
important to them this next year. At the very top of the list was “Growth
and/or Missional Issues”, then “Discipleship Issues,” and third was
“Leadership Development.” If you were to create such a list,
what would be on it? Would these three items appear? I suspect that
they would. And if so, how would you prioritize them?

In thinking about these three, I would move “Leadership Development Issues” to the top of the list. Everything rises or falls with leadership-everything! It takes strong, well developed leadership and planning to accomplish growth and a missional emphasis.

Take a look at our most recent Leadership Link for additional information about transforming leaders/leadership.
