Leadership
Our Leadership Structure
The scriptures do not prescribe a certain model of leadership within the local church. Today, there are many different styles of church leadership. However, we do find in scripture that Jesus gives gifts to people and calls some to serve according their gifting. Ephesians 4:11-13 says ‘And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness. ‘
At DSBC, we have a three-fold model that seeks to distribute responsibility to specific groups of leaders based on skillset, gifting and calling.
