Is there any way to understand the role of a Christian Leadership in the church, group and training college?
Ann (nom de plume) came across one video by the Deaf woman of Hamilton, hoping to establish a Deaf Christain camp and a team in 2022. In the video, she signed about Christain Leadership and signed about studying the course through Christain College. Mm, Ann thought, how can any Deaf person understand and lead the excellent leadership role to their Deaf parishioners in the church? It is a big challenge to become a good leadership role to all interest by the Deaf Christain persons.
Can any Deaf Christain people move away from the ‘toxic’ area from the Deaf community? We do not have the answer, let alone and pray, if they realise and understand what was going on out there?
When a person creates an idea to lead the group, it must work together as a team, not be pushed around or ordering someone to do the work for anyone. The other tool is to find someone to mentor the person and the team to become a good leader. One person must remember to limit the highly speaking and creating the idea, or problem solving because that person will become too enthusiastic and forget about any Deaf Christain people’s chance or choice to speak up. This person is the result of too inferior leadership role at the table or in the church.
Irrespective of how anyone defines a leader, he or she can prove to be a difference-maker between success and failure. A good leader has a futuristic vision and knows how to turn his ideas into real-world success stories. It is essential for anyone as ‘a leaders know the way, goes the way and shows the way.”
Let us see the excellent leadership role, qualities and principles, examples of teaching, and leading other church or youth groups that separate good leaders from bad ones.
Let see what the principles of becoming or gain the learning to improve are.

Peter walk toward Jesus on a stormy sea forecast the dilemma of Christians in future centuries. Stormy change often leaves believers seasick as the gospel shrugs off the shackles of one historical period after another on its journey to the outer limits of recorded time and beyond.
Today’s Christian leaders face upheaval as time roars into the 21st century. They must walk with Him and obey Him on a raging sea of social, economic, moral, cultural, and technological change unprecedented in human history. Like Peter, they must decide which is more vital—their faith in God or their fear of the future. Simon Peter climbed out of the boat, believing he could follow Jesus’ command to walk on water. However, anchored by his limited view of the possible, his faith faltered, and he sank. Church leaders on a mission today must also step out in faith from their anchored past to answer Jesus’ command to communicate His unchanging message in a mighty roaring sea of change.”
Here is another example of making an outstanding leadership by a different author.
- Great leaders lead
- Great leaders model
- Great leaders pray
- Great leaders learn
- Great leaders love
Ann began wondering how the other churches can learn more from the Deaf Christain people and other disabled people in their churches. She realised it is different to lead the churches by the disabled, even Deaf people, for example, communicate in sign language, braille Bibles. Today, many new technologies make disabled people and Deaf people’s lives better than before as there were so many barriers that restricted Deaf people/disabled people. There are more tools to develop a better course for any Deaf people or Deaf with disabilities people to study “The leadership role”. Yes, there is one problem: financial to provide excellent tools like computer, laptop, literacy resources plus in NZSL versions, Bible study in NZSL and Easy to Read versions. Many Christain people seek funding, receive bequests donations, fundraising to help disabled Christain people, even to Deaf Christain people.
Here are other simple tools for leadership qualities are: –
- Honesty and integrity
- Confidence
- Inspire Others
- Commitment and Passion
- Good Communicator
- Decision-Making Capabilities
- Accountability
- Delegation and Empowerment
- Creativity and Innovation
- Empathy
- Resilience
- Emotional Intelligence
- Humility
- Transparency
- Vision and Purpose

There are plenty more ideas for becoming a good leadership person than a bad one.
Great Stewardship
In Christian organisations, God calls us to be good stewards of all our resources, especially the people we have entrusted. Leadership is about enabling those people to achieve their full potential, not only to achieve but exceed their goals in God’s Kingdom service. Developing leadership excellence leads to the fulfilment of individual and organisational potential.
Growing Christ-centred leaders is an investment in excellent stewardship.
Great Outcomes
People who have expertise and skill in an organisation’s technical and operational aspects natural rise to leadership positions. Nevertheless, leadership is about much more, requiring an additional, new and different skill set.
Authentic leadership, modelled on Christ, is not about position, it is about the role, and it emerges from a Christ-like servant heart that understands how to enable others to be the best they can be in God’s service. This leadership skill set is the critical factor that allows leaders, the people they lead and their organisation to achieve excellent outcomes.
Growing Christ-centred leaders is an investment in achieving excellent outcomes.
Great Reputation
Alas, it is sadly all too easy to come across Christian organisations with a reputation for not reflecting the character of Christ as they ought. The culture of any organisation built on the character and style of its leaders. Leaders become nurtured and grown to lead in a way modelled on Jesus create a vital and vigorous organisation that enjoys a reputation for being Christ-like.
A good reputation is essential; not only does it honour God, but it correlates with effectiveness, high productivity, easy recruitment and low staff churn.
Growing Christ-centred leaders is an investment in the witness of an excellent, God honouring reputation.
A Christ-focused organisation
The quality and character of its leaders define the quality and character of an organisation. There are two possibilities as to the source of this character: the world or Christ.
Leadership styles based on secular models, which is the default unless specific steps take, will lead to an organisation with a worldly character. Leadership styles that emerge from obedience to Christ’s teaching and reflect his nature will be distinctly Christ-like. As with every aspect of the Christian walk developing Christ-likeness takes prayerful effort. If becoming more Christ-like alone is not enough, such a character will significantly enhance an organisation’s reputation amongst its peers.
A highly committed and engaged staff
Study upon study shows that the best performing organisations enjoy the highest levels of staff commitment, the lowest levels of toxic attitudes, and very high staff satisfaction levels. They show that this results only from the highest leadership quality focused on enabling others to achieve their best. Leadership born from a character-centred on Christ’s Servant heart is a leadership style of the highest quality.
Creativity and vigour
Organisations with the highest quality of leadership and a staff who delight in achieving their best are vibrant and vigorous. They are creative and innovative, as they find better and more effective ways of working and using their resources. They excel in resolving complex issues and challenges which would otherwise limit achievement.
Growing high-quality people
Christ-centred servant leaders are concerned with enabling those they lead to achieve their full potential in Kingdom service. Consequently, they invest in the quality of their people by growing their skills, experience, confidence, and wisdom. Studies show that high-quality people with high levels of staff satisfaction lead directly to the highest quality outcomes for the organisation.
Extending organisational capacity
The high levels of commitment, job satisfaction, vigour, creativity, and quality that emerge under exemplary leadership enable organisations to work smarter and more efficiently, finding more effective ways of using often limited money and resources. As a result, they will increase their organisation’s capacity because they can achieve more with the limited resources available.
Highly effective performance
As a direct result of exemplary Servant leadership, exhibiting a character-centred on Christ’s Servant heart, an organisation will not only reflect Christ’s character more brightly, but it will be highly effective and able to achieve more. Studies show that similar organisations massively outperform their peers on key staff, operational, and financial measures.
Growing the Servant Heart
Growing the Servant Heart is a leadership development curriculum designed to help anyone do just that. Rooted in the Bible and practical experience, it seeks to draw out and apply the leadership principles taught and modelled by Jesus.
