Leadership

The leadership is important part of the Church. That leadership must have a vision and they must be able to relay that message to the Church. They must be unified and always seeking to teach and preach and to grow the church according to Gods Plan not man’s.  

The statement we heard last week is that Riverview Baptist Church is serious about its vision and it is worth repeating.  How often does God repeat Himself in scripture to emphasize the importance of what He is saying?  Likewise Riverview Baptist Church takes its vision to be important.

Leadership sets the example for others to follow that why Gods word says those in leadership positions should not be a novice. {young of babe in Christ.}

Leadership should help to prepare the congregation for the work of the ministry; that is, your position or ability for service with your spiritual gift(s).

Leadership should insure:

A good Godly Church Reaches and teaches others. Amen.
