New Covenant School of Theology is about to start it’s next block course. Don’t forget that you may attend the first two classes for free!
Pastoral Epistles, Church Leadership, Nov. 21-Dec. 13
This course serves three purposes. First, to explore the teaching of the so-called “Pastoral Epistles” of the NT (1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon). Second, to understand the biblical pattern for church authority and leadership. Third, to learn what the responsibilities of pastors and elders are within the church. The class considers both the formal duties and the “personal life” of the minister. The benefit to the non-elder/pastor student will be a better understanding of the Lord’s design for shepherding His flock as well as principles that apply to any ministry in the church.

Biblical Eldership by Alexander Strauch
