Increasing your capacity as a leader involves intentional growth and continual development in all aspects of life. This is important because Kingdom leaders are also leaders in their home, their marriage, their family, and community. We want to help you be effective in life as well as ministry.
The Alliance has identified 6 characteristics of healthy, growing leaders:
- Kingdom-Minded – invested in the local and global church community for the sake of demonstrating God’s eternal and coming Kingdom.
- Biblically Grounded – engaged in the process of learning, understanding, and applying truth and information through the lens of a biblical worldview in order to love Jesus and be more like him as we lead.
- Spirit-Dependent – engaged in the process of being conformed to the image of Christ through the power of and absolute dependency on the Holy Spirit for the sake of others.
- Competently Skilled – has and is constantly developing a holistic set of skills that will catalyze a lifetime of leadership.
- Self-Aware – regularly seeking to grow in the understanding of self, their motivations, the impact of their past, and their natural abilities and liabilities in order to display a God-honoring life and engage in God-honoring ministry.
- Self-Disciplined – displays Christ-like rhythms which lead to greater self-awareness, receptivity to God’s work in their lives, and productivity for His Kingdom.
