Selecting Elders Dave Deets

Charles Spurgeon stated, "To compromise on leadership is the most suicidal act a church can commit." All across the world, churches are forced to answer the question, "Who should be in leadership?" As churches wrestle with this question, pragmatism often takes over. Too many times the church simply puts men into positions of leadership as elders because, "they will do". Dave Deets (D. Min., Northland International University) has taken a local church through the elder selection process and he has captured what happens when a church does not have a biblical selection process. Dave then takes the reader through a complete, yet easy to understand, process for selecting elders. This is a proven process and one that could easily be implemented in your church.
