Servant Leader | Saint Paul Church of Sacramento

Pathway to Servant Leadership at St. Paul

Thank you for your interest in serving in leadership at St. Paul.

There are THREE WAYS to serve in leadership at St. Paul:

1) Servant Leader Mentee
2) Servant Leader (Ministry Chair or Co-Chair)
3) Servant Leader Coach

A Servant Leader Mentee is the starting point for leadership. A Mentee is someone who is interested in becoming a Servant Leader after receiving additional training. A Servant Leader is someone who serves as a Ministry Chair or Co-Chair. A Servant Leader Coach is someone who has prior leadership experience and is willing to coach a Servant Leader. All Servant Leader candidates are subject to the discretion of the Senior Pastor.

If you sense God is calling you to serve in leadership at St. Paul follow these steps, in this order:

“When you come, bring ….. my scrolls, especially the parchments.” 2 Timothy 4:13

Leadership includes acquiring new leadership knowledge and skills. Leaders need to continually assess and keep current with the leadership knowledge and skills required for effective ministry. This involves reinforcing and refining present and valid leadership knowledge and skills. Effective ministry leaders will discard anything that is unbiblical or culturally irrelevant for ministry in the 21st century.
