Abstract

1. In my paper I show how lay leadership understands their role is crucial to the living out of Christian mission within a congregation. When a congregation's leaders become distracted by other issues the direction of ministry can easily be derailed. This can lead the congregation away from the purpose of Christian mission. By keeping lay leadership, and thereby the entire congregation, focused on mission, God's will in the world can be carried out. 2. It is of paramount importance to help keep the congregation focused on the mission of evangelism. 3. This paper is written using the style format contained in: Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Sixth Edition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996). 4. A needed healing process was begun at the congregation. The author concluded that the healing processes necessarily led to leadership style changes.
