The Mystery of Leadership

(You must have Adobe Reader installed. To install Adobe Reader, click on icon below)

The ceiling of growth for most churches is the abilities of the leader. Improve your abilities to lead and your congregations potential grows significantly.

This page opens two key resources for growing leaders.

One is ministerial survival skills. All ministers leave school with a load of knowledge and few survival skills. Robert Oglesby has served as the pulpit minister for the Waterview Church of Christ in Richardson, TX for 43 years. He knows what it takes to weather conflict, deflect criticism, and work as a positive influence in the local church.

The second is a lesson on servant-leadership that Robert Oglesby delivered at the 2006 ACU Lectureship. The paper called The Mystery of Leadership is a practical guide for elders, preachers, deacons, and anyone else who seeks to become a "servant-leader."

Church Planting?

In 1995, the Waterview Church of Christ planted a new congregation 10 miles to the north. That project presented many leadership challenges. To learn more, watch the slide show of Robert Oglesby's presentation at Heritage Christian University.
