ANECDOTE

Intentional Elder Discipleship Methods

  • Jonathan Lehman shared how during his first months at a church he discipled elders intentionally through lunches and teaching.
  • He also had elders read books together and scheduled ongoing conversations to discuss spiritual growth.
INSIGHT

Discipleship Varies by Church Size

  • Managing discipleship differs by church size; small elderships can disciple individually, large ones must rely on different approaches.
  • It's unrealistic for a senior pastor to individually disciple every elder in a large church.
ADVICE

Discipling Elders with Practical Exposure

  • Include elders in activities like pastoral visits and membership interviews to disciple them practically.
  • Equip elders with recommended books, articles, and conferences for ongoing theological growth.
