One of the common questions we are asked regarding house churches is, How do you practice leadership? Team member David Legge walks through a Biblical understanding of leadership as it pertains to a house church. You’ll hear Kathryn and David discuss the five-fold leadership outlined in Ephesians 4, and a weave of leadership that doesn’t look as hierarchical, but still has Bibical order. You’ll hear about how elders and house church leaders likely worked in the cities where the earlychurch began, and how we might model ourselves in similar ways. We also talk about women in ministry, looking at examples in Scripture of how Jesus built his church. In a subject that can feel overwhelming or even controversial,  we hope that you might find helpful ways to look at church leadership in your own context through this discussion.
