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. Topics such as the relationship of elders to their families, to the church, and to their own growth and welfare as Christians are explored with insight and ready applicability. As part of the 'A People on Purpose' series of titles, Independent Eldership is an ideal resource for informing church members, equipping eldership teams, and providing training for future leaders in how God gathers, governs and grows the church for his own glory. 

'A People on Purpose' is an original series of volumes with the health of the local church at its core. It is God who gathers his church, who ultimately governs his church, and who graciously grows his church in depth and breadth for his glory. These three realities form the framework for what this series seeks to address: providing biblically faithful teaching on what the church is, how its life can be ordered in line with Scripture, and how its growth can be fostered and cultivated, under God. The goal of the series is to encourage godly leadership, healthy congregationalism, and a church order which reflects the pattern and power found in the New Testament.  Healthy Christians make for healthy churches, and healthy churches make for healthy Christians. Likewise, healthy churches are led by healthy leaders who have been shaped by healthy resources.
