The Adventist elder is in a place of remarkable opportunity. The truth is; leadership from within is one of the most powerful forms of leadership; and the Adventist church is tremendously blessed by its local elders. The Role of the Local Elder is about the local elder. It is about the work elder’s do; and the way in which their work influences the culture of the church. More than that; it is especially about “best practices” in Adventist leadership. It’s for the elder; the pastor; those who care about delivering a grace-filled leadership; and those who want to see the Adventist mission in North America advanced. Even though the book addresses in detail the specific job the elder may be called to do; it’s also about how an effective elder’s leadership will engage the entire church in delivering a consistent witness to the community.
