In order to keep the wineskin or structure of a ministry relevant and flexible change is inevitable and ongoing. One of the greatest challenges of the leader is to continue to change themselves, and then be a catalyst to bring about change in their organization and ministry. If the organization does not have a process for continued renewal and change it will eventually die, which is defined as no longer fulfilling its purpose. Yet how to bring about organizational church is not easy and at times seems to even require actions that are not necessary “common sense.” Therefore the leader needs to learn the skills necessary to bring about such change in order to keep their ministry and organization healthy and reproducing.

Description

CLI – Christian Leadership Institute: Module 5.0 Organizational Life

The competencies in this module all reflect the understanding and skills a leader requires to deal with the bigger picture of their particular ministry context. In essence, organizations have characteristics of organisms and leaders need to understand how the culture of their context either encourages or discourages the shared values and goals of the individuals making up the organization as well as the organization as a whole, as an organism. Being able to analyze these factors and learn the basics of organizational development are critical for the leader to serve the organization by helping it achieve its intended purpose.
