Minneapolis/St. Paul (January 13, 2006 - GMS) “Developing Leaders for Effective Ministry” is the theme for the Church Of God In Christ’s 2006 Jurisdictional Leadership Conference. It speaks to the awesome task ahead of us to do kingdom building, and the necessity of spiritual, organizational, and educational preparation to effectively serve in ministry to this generation and the next.

It also speaks to the reality that leadership of God’s church is not a one man assignment. The Joshuas and Ruths must be nurtured up to share the burden of leadership. Laity leaders will also be important in forging effective ministry to the body of Christ. Effective leadership at every level and area will be the result. We must give due diligence to make our calling and election sure.
