Yes! To be honest, the word leadership can seem intimidating. But it’s actually a purpose we are all empowered to fulfill as disciples of Jesus. He tells us that we have all been given gifts to use to support and grow His kingdom on earth. Kingdom leadership is different than how the world defines leadership – kingdom leadership means serving where you can be most useful in supporting God’s plan to draw people to Himself.
No matter if we’re leading by serving meals, operating cameras or mixing sound, walking alongside kids or students, teaching a class, or preaching from the pulpit, each kind of role is a way we can live out our gifting by serving. Here at Asbury, while there are some specific roles you can fill by being responsible for a team or project, and may be called a leader within your ministry like with Students, Kids, or Life Groups, or Worship, we are all called to lead well in all we do.
The first step in discovering how you were created to lead is discerning what those gifts are and how He has uniquely wired each of us to share those gifts, both inside and outside the church. Sometimes gifts are meant to be used in a specific way in a specific season, and at other times, knowing your gifts can also shape the trajectory of your entire life.
Check out the steps below to begin to see what that looks like in your own life as part of the Asbury Family.
