Identifying, training, developing and sustaining leaders is a key task for the Church in every generation if the body is to be built up.
There are currently many challenges facing the body of Christ in Britain. The UK is among the most fiercely secularising countries in the world. Many are concerned about how we will produce biblical leaders who will teach and equip the Church for the pressures and demands of the coming years.
The number of emerging younger church leaders is diminishing and the number of older leaders leaving Christian leadership prematurely is rising. The average age of ministers is higher than ever and many more churches are closing than being planted.
