What to Teach
- Ensure your leader knows that teaching and living God's truth are inextricably combined.

- Choose a leader who knows the purposes of Scripture - to lead us to salvation, to reveal the mind of God, to transform our lives; and to equip us for good works.
How to Teach
- Ensure your leader has the gift of preaching and teaching or is eager to empower others who do - preaching and teaching must have a central place in the life of a healthy congregation.
