Christian Leadership is not rooted in worldly notions of success, such as the love of money or power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of our Leaders are to empower others and to be a servant to God. We encourage our Leaders to work with others to help them grow in the word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus Himself spoke against this when expressing the importance of serving others. But Jesus called them to Himself and said, \u201cYou know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave \u2014 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.\u201d \u2013 Matthew 20:25-28, NKJV<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leaders are not to oppress and overpower others with their authority, like the Gentiles practiced. Instead, leaders serve others, which Jesus demonstrated when He \u201cmade Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross\u201d (Philippians 2:7-8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
