Faithful and Fruitful Ordained Ministry

Healthy churches have healthy elders and deacons. When a local congregation is blessed with faithful officers the results are bountiful (Acts 6:7). William Boekestein and Steven Swets speak about ordained ministry in its manifold dimensions. Boekestein and Swets have edited, Faithful and Fruitful: Essays for Elders and Deacons ( Reformed Fellowship ), which provides current and future church leaders with an exciting opportunity of personal development. Like its companion ( Called to Serve ), this collection of essays offers biblical and practical essays written by seasoned churchmen drawing upon a wealth of leadership knowledge, experience, and wisdom. Engaging study questions for each essay can help readers make the most of the Bible's instruction and encouragement for those tasked with the responsibility and privilege of leading Christ's church. https://vimeo.com/371254855
