dc.description.abstract | This project was designed to help leaders in the local church embrace and excel in their God-given calling. This project addresses global leaders in multisite churches, but the principles are also applicable to associate pastors in a local church. As global leaders embrace their calling, they will make a significant difference in their teams and local churches. Chapter 1 gives clear context and rationale for best global leader practices. Chapter 2 gives a theological foundation for the significance and role of a global leader in a multisite church. Chapter 3 explores sociological and theoretical support for practices global leaders must embrace to excel in their role. Chapter 4 provides detailed information on how the project was carried out, including a look at the curriculum and global leader training. Chapter 5 gives insight, analysis, and discussion of the goals of the project and outcomes for global leaders in the local church. | en_US |
