Training Leaders

Jesus wants His church to function effectively, so leadership is a top priority. God-given leadership provides security, motivation and direction. Leaders who know that they are genuinely anointed, called and loved by God bring peace and security to a local church.

Ephesians 4 ministries

Paul tells us that when Jesus ascended He 'gave gifts to men' (Eph. 4:8). The leadership gifts are people: apostles, prophets, evangelists and pastors/teachers (Eph. 4:11) and their function is to 'prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up' (Eph. 4:12). These gifts, described in Ephesians 4, are given by God to stand alongside and assist local church leaders in fulfilling their commission to present every believer mature in Christ.

Within the Newfrontiers family we recognise these gifts as vital for fulfilling our mission. We are working with teams of gifted men serving existing churches as well as emerging church plants. Whilst these teams are predominantly working with churches in their locality, they are not only geographical but also built upon relationships. As a result some of these teams are also serving nations other than their own.

Strong foundations

Working alongside those involved day to day in church leadership, they are pioneering into new areas and helping churches fulfil their calling. In this way they help to ensure churches are started on strong foundations and that all the ministries identified in Ephesians 4 are playing their part in helping to make these churches strong.
Training new leaders and seeing these gifts multiplied forms a central part of our mission in order to equip the body of Christ.
