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.
