Eldership and the Mission of God

In Eldership and the Mission of God, J. R. Briggs and Bob Hyatt offer a fresh vision of church leadership centered on community, mutual support, and God’s mission in the world. They argue that effective eldership is not about authority or control but about shared discernment, spiritual maturity, and equipping others for ministry. Through biblical reflection and practical wisdom, the authors show how teams of elders can model servant leadership that empowers the church to live out its mission faithfully and collaboratively in today’s complex cultural context.
