Christ-Based Leadership^©

Christ-Based Leadership (CBL) combines what the Bible tells us about leadership with the best of today’s business leadership thinking. In his book, Christ-Based Leadership © David Stark has drawn leadership principles from his study of the Bible and has integrated leadership best practices from business theory.

What are the benefits of Christ-Based Leadership?

CBL focuses on gift-based lay leadership in lieu of appointing people to positions.
Its foundations are built on trust and accountability and flexible structures, ensuring the person is well-matched to the role.
Most importantly, it moves participants from being internally focused on the four walls of the church to an outward focus on the community in which the church resides.
Christ Based Leadership training asks twelve questions about your leadership style and methods, including:
- What is the truth of your ambition?
- Who is the lord of your leadership?
- What is your definition of success?
- Who are you here to serve?

These questions and your thoughtful answers will combine to make you the servant-leader you want to become.
