This is a practical resource for local church leaders across the South Pacific relaunched with a fresh new design and updated content to support today’s ministry needs.
This third edition of the Church Leader’s Manual—first published in 1990 — was developed and intended for churches in the islands where the outline is was very simple—something that grassroots people in rural places could easily understand and use.
This new edition manual was updated with new designs,added content and language modified to reflect today’s ministry context. It is colour-coded and divided into six major sections: Church History and Organisation; Church Leadership; Evangelism; Bible Doctrines; Bible Prophecy; and Evangelistic Sermon Outlines.
The book includes practical guidance on topics such as communion services, sermon preparation, church discipline, board meetings, evangelistic planning and nurturing new members. It also includes job descriptions for local church officers.
