Training and Multiplying Biblical Leadership Principles at Mount Hermon Baptist Church in Danville, Virginia

Abstract

This project seeks to train current and potential D Groups leaders at Mount Hermon Baptist Church (MHBC) in multiplying biblical leadership principles to help them multiply their biblical leadership into others. Chapter 1 presents the project’s church context, rationale, purpose statement, goals, and research methodology. Chapter 2 provides an exegesis of four passages of Scripture (Gen 1:26-28; Num 27:12-23; Matt 10:1-5a; 2 Tim 2:1-2) to reveal twelve scriptural elements for biblical leaders in their multiplication of others as biblical leaders. Chapter 3 focuses on theoretical and practical issues related to training in multiplying biblical leadership principles, particularly three theoretical elements of biblical leadership multiplication and a model for multiplying leaders to utilize. Chapter 4 describes the project itself, starting with its preparation, continuing with its implementation, and then concluding with an overview of its content. Chapter 5 evaluates this project, while adding theological and personal reflection. Ultimately, this project seeks to train biblical leaders who will then multiply their leadership into others to develop them as biblical leaders for the sake of the gospel and the advancement of the kingdom of God.
