## Resource

Sunday 16th January – Dave Rogers defines church leadership not as power, but as a God-given, servant-hearted means to release flourishing. Elders provide spiritual oversight while deacons manage the more practical aspects of church life. Together, they equip and encourage every single believer to grow mature in Jesus Christ.
