What is the best leadership structure for my church?

Christian charities and churches in particular have an added leadership dynamic as leadership teams grapple to work out spiritual direction within a governance framework. This paper - part of a series on trustees - explores what different leadership structures are commonly used by churches and how different leadership priorities can be blended together.

Topics covered:

  • In UK churches, are spiritual leaders and trustees the same thing?
  • How to set the right spiritual direction in your church;
  • What is the right leadership structure for my church?
  • What is the case for a separated leadership team structure?
  • What are the main issues facing a separated leadership team?
  • Case study - an example for a separated leadership team structure.
