Product Description

Training the next generation of leaders is crucial to spreading the gospel, yet most churches have no formal way of doing this. Why? Tight budgets, small staffs, and a lack of know-how are just a few reasons suggested by church consultants Aubrey Malphurs and William Mancini in this groundbreaking book. Building Leaders provides real-life examples of ways churches can unleash their true ministry potential by training staff members and laypeople to lead. With step-by-step instructions that can be applied to any church or parachurch ministry, Building Leaders shows readers how to: - empower, not just train, leaders - overcome obstacles to developing leaders - identify emerging leaders - use biblical models for training leaders - form a leadership training program to fit any size or budget Packed with surveys, discussion questions, and a leadership development guide, Building Leaders will encourage leaders to "duplicate themselves" in order to see their ministry grow. It is a perfect resource for ministry students, church leaders, and pastors.


From the Back Cover

How can a Christian leader empower others to lead? A follow up to Aubrey Malphurs' Being Leaders, the groundbreaking Building Leaders provides a biblical blueprint for finding and developing leaders who will carry on and expand the work of your church. Countering the current leadership development crisis, this book is unique in helping leaders to grow other leaders in a local church context. Worried that you don't have time to develop leaders? You're not alone. Tight budgets, small staffs, and endless administrative duties leave many pastors feeling overwhelmed. But without continually "giving the ministry away," churches miss the opportunity to double their efforts to reach the world for Christ. Including a leadership development guide, thought-provoking questions, and surveys, Building Leaders will help your church design a unique leadership development model regardless of its size or budget. Aubrey Malphurs is professor of pastoral ministries at Dallas Theological Seminary. A nationally recognized expert on leadership issues, he is the author of over a dozen books and the president of The Malphurs Group (www.malphursgroup.com), a training and consulting organization. William Mancini has a Master of Theology degree in pastoral leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary and is a consultant with John Manlove Church Marketing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference Work for Leadership Development!, March 13, 2005
By David R. Bess (Charleston, WV) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I read my first book by Aubrey Malphurs while completing a doctorate in ministry eight years ago. Recently it has become my goal to read everything he has written, because his insights for church ministry in the 21st century are simply unparalleled. This title is the second in a three-part series on leadership. Here he continues where he ended in his first work, "Becoming Leaders." The third title, "Leading Leaders" is due to be released in the near future.

This book, for all its merits, is not an easy-read. Malphurs is extremely detailed and thorough as he examines the leadership building process for the local church. Still, any pastor serious about developing leaders in his congregation should not be without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR CHURCH LEADERS, January 4, 2005
By Richy Fisher (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Malphurs and Mancini have done an excellent job in outlining not only the necessity of leadership at all levels in the local church, but also how to create leaders at all levels. Many books explain the importance of leadership but few tell you how to go about building leaders and establishing a "culture of leadership" within your church.

This book is a must read for all church leaders
