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.
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.
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.
