Rock Solid: Leadership Foundations for Missions Discipleship Leaders

Elizabeth Encinia | 2020

Abstract

Rock Solid Leadership is a tool designed to strengthen the role of the missions discipleship leader in the local church, within the context of the Woman’s Missionary Union. Missions leaders cannot ignore that change in our external environment also impacts the work of the church and thus challenges ministry leaders to adapt to a changing ministry structure.

In today’s church structure, traditional approaches for missions programming are passed up for more user-friendly, less-organized, and customizable opportunities for engaging their congregants in missions engagement. For an organization with more than 135 years of history and a legacy of missions programming, the shift in approach to Christian education in the local church has created a challenge.

Rock Solid Leadership provides a solution to help missions leaders re-think the function of WMU in the church, encourage the desired characteristics of WMU leadership, and resets the foundation for missions engagement. Rock Solid Leadership includes five – 90 minute – webinars designed to equip and empower WMU missions leaders to reclaim their vision and purpose, explore new approaches for engaging church members, understanding leadership styles that promote effectiveness, working with Pastoral leadership to align with the work of the church, and setting up a system for leadership continuity.
