The elders council became the model of local church leadership, both among Jews and Gentiles. New Testament Church Leadership examines this pattern and its application in the contemporary church. The comprehensive studies contained in this work are enhanced by the author's over sixty years of experience in church leadership. Chapters include: * Apostles, Then and Now, * Church Planting Transitions, * Biblical Survey of Local Church Government, * The Elders Council, * The Elders' Job Description, * Questions Frequently Asked, * Qualifications for Elders, * How One Becomes an Elder, * The Role of Deacons, * Ordination in the New Testament Church, * Authority: A Biblical Overview, * Contemporary Examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Garrett is part of a seven-man elders council that leads Tulsa Christian Fellowship.
