Body Building: Creating a Ministry Team Through Spiritual Gifts (Leadership Insight Series)

God gave Moses the vision to build a tabernacle but Moses did not build it by himself. Church leaders engage in a similar endeavor. They a) see what is inside other potential leaders b) use leadership discernment and management skills to bring the potential out and c) avoid standing in front of the future leaders once that skill becomes obvious. Body Building is about creating a networked ministry team from within a congregation by identifying and matching spiritual gifts with the core purposes of the church. Brian Kelley Bauknight describes the processes for accomplishing this processes which he has tested in his own congregation. In an era when our institutions and businesses are finding new ways to be in partnership with one another Body Building shows how a church can accomplish its mission without adding to the financial overhead with full-time salaried ministers who are hired to do the ministry.
