Leading the Church Board Spiritually

Each and every area within the church must place a high priority on the emphasis of spiritual leadership. There is not a single aspect of the church that can thrive without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Since this is true with everything else in ministry, it is inherently true for the church board. Think of the goal of the board, which is to serve as a body of accountability to ensure that the church is effective, as well as honoring God. With this in mind, the guidance of the Holy Spirit must be present! As the leader, this is a culture you must build for your board. How can you thrive in leading a church board spiritually?
