"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.
