Proposal for Pastoring or Mentoring Leaders
in the Local Church

Every pastoral leader should excel in his relationships, especially the seven key relationships of a leader that shines.  One of these seven is a small support or accountability group that gets together regularly.  Another is a relationship with a mentor or pastoral leader with whom meetings would be less frequent, possibly every 6-8 weeks. 

At the same time that a pastor experiences pastoring or mentoring, he should be offering this experience to his leaders, especially his pastoral team.  Several practical ways of doing this are:

1. Mentoring a few select leaders. 
2. Individualized pastoring for all the leaders of the church. 
3. An annual retreat with the leadership team.
