The Team Leader’s Handbook

**Wisdom and practical help for those leading a group of volunteer leaders who are doing ministry together. **

We’ve all had the unfortunate experience of being in a team with poor leadership. But nobody wants to be that sort of leader, so when we’re asked to step up and lead a gospel ministry—where eternal futures are at stake—it can seem pretty daunting.

But you’re not on your own. From his wealth of leadership wisdom and experience, Dave Moore shares:

• why good leadership matters
• what good leaders do—always, regularly and often
• practical tips, real-life examples and useful leadership tools.

The Team Leader’s Handbook is a highly accessible must-read guide for any current or future leader of a ministry team.

Commendations

"I first read Dave’s material on team leadership as I stepped into a team-leading role in kids’ ministry, and it gave me clarity and confidence as I approached this new way of serving Jesus. The Team Leader’s Handbook will help you see the gospel heart behind team leading, before stepping you through the role and equipping you with a range of practical tools. It’s simple, clear, really applicable, and biblically rooted in the desire to see Jesus glorified through ministry."
— Sophia Lee, Kids Church Team Leader, Hunter Bible Church, NSW

Because Dave Moore is passionate about seeing your church raise up and deploy sacrificial, joy-filled team leaders who love to serve Jesus. Dave breaks down the job of building and deploying volunteer leaders in such a way that every leader in your church can easily grasp his framework and tools. And those leaders will then go on to equip even more leaders."
