Understanding the Congregation’s Authority (Jonathan Leeman)

Description

Congregational authority is less about the meetings and more about the mission. Congregationalism has a bad rap for well-known reasons: inefficient meetings, upstart members, browbeaten ministers. But biblical congregationalism isn’t so much about the meetings. It’s about empowering the whole church to promote and protect the gospel. Pastors lead and equip. Members get to work strengthening one another and pursuing Christ’s mission in the world.

In the Church Basics Series, trusted church experts write practical, trustworthy resources on issues like church discipline, church leadership, the Lord’s Supper, and baptism that every pastor can hand every church member.
