Abstract

In this project the researcher incorporated spiritual leadership development into the training of elders at Knox Presbyterian Church. The researcher created, implements, and evaluated a training program, which discussed spiritual development and Christian leadership. The researcher studied the biblical basis for and selected writing about leadership, PCUSA documents, and programs on training elders. Finally, the researcher conducted a phone survey to other PCUSA churches to discuss how they train their elders. The researcher's program was implemented in 2008. Well-received by participants, the program's strengths include: flexible modular teaching, reading assignments, discussion, worship, and a peer-mentoring program.
