The Ministry Team Handbook

Ministry is for everyone, not just the clergy. The leadership of every church, parish and congregation in the land is the responsibility of the whole of that community. Churches need leadership, but that leadership will empower the whole congregation, fusing them into a dynamic, outward looking community, bearing witness to the powerful message of the Gospel.

This book provides practical resources for groups of people who want to: work with God for the well-being of the world: becoming a ministering community: develop local, collaborative and supportive ministry: encourage a partnership between clergy and laity: grow dynamic leadership for mission: sustain and support local ministry teams: introduce local ordained ministry into a team.
