**D.A. Carson Themelois “overseer” as managing functions. **
The role of a church leader goes beyond merely overseeing individuals, as they are managing an extended family requiring skills in organization and management. According to Don Carson, the term overseer implies the need for management and organization skills in church leadership. It is crucial for elders to possess the ability to manage and organize effectively, which is often lacking in the cultural context of reformed evangelicals. Strategic thinking is essential for mobilizing the church towards a common goal, breaking it down into manageable tasks, and effectively managing resources. Neglecting strategic planning could hinder the church's efforts in reaching out to the community and fulfilling its mission.
