The First Handbook for Church Leaders For Timothy, pastoring the church in Ephesus was an overwhelming responsibility. So Paul wrote to encourage him in his faith and affirm his leadership and abilities. He also gave Timothy some guidelines for choosing leaders from within the congregation to help in ministry. These guidelines provide today¿s churches with the most thorough instruction for selecting strong, godly leaders. And they offer help for today¿s Christians wanting to grow as leaders in the church.
