Leadership in the local church is a very extensive subject that cannot be easily summarized . . . We had a lot of leaders in our lives that we have followed with all our hearts, but there are others that have guided us with a leadership that we did not like at all, and even some have hurt us. Some of these leaders have been pleasant due to their attitudes towards us: they have been honest, sociable, impartial and secure; in other words, they have showed an attitude just like Jesus . . . It is important that the leadership in the local church reflects the life and work of Jesus, so the Holy Spirit can guide the people effectively towards the spiritual growth of the congregation.
