Overview

Productive Leadership is a celebration of the small churches of America and the lasting legacy they have provided for the Christian landscape. Combining attributes of proven leadership with stories from the New Testament, it provides a practical guide for developing and maintaining fruitful ministry and is written for lay and clergy leaders in these small- to mid-size churches. Utilizing experiences from actual ministry situations, it uses both successes and failures to learn how to work together, taking the reader from assessing the cultural values of a church through discerning God's vision for ministry and working together in leadership. Complete with step-by-step exercises for individuals, councils, and committees, the various chapters form a map for developing effective ministry in what often seems to be a futile mission field. Readers are invited to examine leadership qualities by identifying their own characteristics and competencies and how they are best used in working within the ministry of their local church. Well suited for individual readers, it is also a valuable resource for church councils to discover how they can best work together toward the fulfillment of their mission, making the most productive use of their time and resources. Anyone interested in the future ministry of small churches will find this book to be a valuable resource.

Reviews

"""Productive Leadership is focused on the work and ministry of the smaller church. Spore has spent his lifetime of ministry in such settings and knows well their joys and challenges. His book is, as one might expect, quite practical, offering charts and exercises by which any church can discern its strengths and weaknesses and discover ways it might improve its ministries as effective answers to the call of God. . . . Spore roots all of his examinations of the ins and outs of leadership deeply in the biblical text, referring again and again to Scripture in the attempt to ground his very practical suggestions. . . . Read this book, one I wish I had had during my own church ministry. Perhaps I could have avoided some of those terrible mistakes I made in my headlong dash to grow the church, rather than make disciples. If you remain confused about the difference between those two things, Roy Spore's fine work can help to set you straight."" --John C Holbert, Lois Craddock Perkins Professor emeritus of Homiletics, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University"
