"CHURCH LEADERSHIP SEMINAR"

Conducted By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.

In order for any team, club, lodge, business, or organization to progress, it is mandatory that it has adequate leadership. The Church is no different. Leaders of the Church need to be trained. Shortly after my conversion in 1963, my home church provided a Church Leadership Seminar for the congregation's leaders and any man interested in learning more about ways to help the Lord's Church to "move on". It was very informative and I learned much.

I would hope that all of the men of the church, as well as their wives, would consider attending the "Church Leadership Seminar".

The six 45-minute sessions, will cover areas such as:
1) Church Leader Relationships to : God, spouse, neighbors,
fellow workers, social acquaintances, and the congregation
2) Importance of Church Leaders
3) Elders/Minister Relationship
4) Minister Responsibilities
5) Church Constitution and By-Laws
6) Building a good rapport between Church Leaders and the congregation
7) Treatment of the Minister
8) Bible Qualifications of Church Leaders
9) Nehemiah's List of Leader Qualifications
10) Ways to secure the "right minister" for your church
11) Tips on setting good examples
12) Proposals to evaluate one's service

It is my hope and prayer that all who attend the proposed seminar will be provided with instruction, training, schooling, direction, advice, counsel, suggestions, recommendations, or whatever you want to call it. I am confident that it will bless you personally and equip each to be a better servant for our Lord (Jesus Christ) and leader or prospective leader at the congregation, which you presently serve. Some who have hosted the seminar have said the every church leader should desire to attend and be required to attend if at all possible .

The seminar conducted by veteran church leader of over thirty years (Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.) can be hosted by one congregation or several sister congregations. He can be contacted at 740/532-8020! The better attended seminars have been conducted on Friday evening (beginning with a simple meal), and continuing with an 8:30 AM continental breakfast on Saturday morning, ending at noon. Or a one day seminar such as on a Saturday (beginning at 8:30 AM with a continental breakfast and lunch being provided by the church and sessions concluding by 3:00 PM. A staffed nursery and child care should be provided. Advance registering for the seminar by at least a week prior to the seminar is best.
