Getting leadership right matters, especially when it comes to the local church. Who leads and how they lead can bring great blessing or serious detriment to the life and witness of God’s gathered people. In Independent Eldership, Stephen Kneale traces the biblical picture of what eldership is, how it relates to congregational government, and how this office can be effectively fulfilled in the life of the local church. Scripturally moored and practically applied, the truths in this book are designed to help everyone in the church understand who should lead them and what this leadership looks like in practical terms.
