I was privileged to be in a cohort who challenged my thinking, made me laugh, and supported me through difficult times. It was a true honor to study under our lead mentor, Dr. Leonard Sweet. His interest and investment in each member of our cohort was exceptional, and he is a true reflection of the type of leader I propose in this paper, an Elder-at-the-Fire. I cannot neglect to thank the faculty and staff of George Fox Seminary, especially Chuck Conniry and Andy Campbell. They were always pleasant and helpful, and willing to go above board to help meet my needs. Special thanks also go to my advisors: Larry Asplund, Derek Voorhees, and David Phillips. Loren Kerns deserves special recognition; he was always available to provide assistance, prayer support, and encouragement. My extended family has also been very supportive, often listening to me talk about my concept, asking questions, and praying for me as I labored through this effort. Finally, very special thanks go to my good friend Steve Robbins, who encouraged me to enter this program, listened to endless hours of me expounding on my ideas, patiently endured my venting frustrations, challenged my thinking, encouraged me, prayed for me, and provided constructive criticism. His commitment to helping see me through this program and his constant support have been invaluable. I am so thankful for all the people God placed in my life as I made this doctoral pilgrimage. I have been truly blessed! vi ABSTRACT Societies and cultures are changing at an unprecedented pace. In this time of uncertainty, how does the Church continue to advance God’s kingdom and nurture fully mature disciples of Christ? This paper will show that global shifts demand a new type of Christian leader—Elder-at-the-Fire—who is able to apprentice others to a life of Missional Generativity.1 The so-called ‘proven’ forms of discipleship are becoming ineffective. People in the world are floundering to understand their purpose; many seek spiritual guides and self-help solutions in search of spiritual meaning. In biblical times and in ancient tribal traditions, elders provided spiritual wisdom for life’s journey. This project introduces the metaphor of Elder-at-the-Fire as a way to distinguish the special role Elders play when they become authentic agents of Missional Generativity through the power of the Spirit. The first section probes the effects of rapid societal changes on the Church’s ability to produce fully mature disciples that are both missional and generative. The second section identifies and examines current praxises for spiritual development and growth. Section three postulates the need for Elders-at-the-Fire and describes Missional Generativity as a distinguishing characteristic Elders should achieve to successfully apprentice disciples and promulgate the Kingdom. Finally, section four establishes the foundation for a proposed book by laying out the andragogic of developing Elders-at-the- Fire, the needed catalysts for implementing true Missional Generativity. 1 Generativity is “a concern for establishing and guiding the next generation.” John Kotre, “Generativity and the Generative Process,” Lives, Memories, Legacies, Stories, accessed December 2, 2004, http://www.johnkotre.com/generativity.htm. Missional Generativity will be defined in this paper. vii SECTION I: PROBLEM Introduction On a warm summer day on the Oregon coast, a young girl played in the shallow waters of the ocean. She dared not venture out as far as her brothers; she could not swim. She played close to the shore, splashing through the water with her head down looking for seashells, her dad and grandparents not far away so she could call out to them and display her findings. Without warning, a sneaker wave knocked the child down, tumbling her body and pulling her out to sea. Frantic, she tried to gain footing in the shifting sands of the ocean floor. She could not scream for help; the cold, salty water had rushed into her mouth and nose, threatening to fill her lungs. As her body was pummeled by the waves, she struggled to gasp for air. Her six-year-old mind cried out to her Sunday School Jesus … the wave let her go. Sputtering and crying she ran to her father, “Daddy, I almost drowned, did you not see me?” This story is rewritten in various scenarios in churches around the world. Individuals, while seeking spiritual treasures, are caught unaware by the waves of life and tossed about; some are even lost at sea. Ms. Gleeson

  • Elder Massimo De Feo: ‘Welcome to the Lord’S Temple in Rome’
    Elder Massimo De Feo: ‘Welcome to the Lord’s Temple in Rome’ Elder Massimo De Feo and his wife, Loredana Galeandro, pose for photos at the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City Monday, April 4, 2016. April 3, 2016, will forever be a historic day for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints in Italy. For the first time, one of their own was called to be a senior Church leader. While Elder Massimo De Feo’s recent assignment as a General Authority Seventy signaled a key moment in Church history, his own introduction to the Church was far more commonplace. When missionaries knocked on the De Feo family’s door in Taranto in 1970, 9-year-old Massimo and his older brother Alberto were taught the gospel and were later baptized. While Massimo and Alberto’s parents never joined the Church, they were supportive of their sons as they became active in their new faith. “Our parents never accepted the gospel, but they felt it was good and they felt good about their two children growing up in the gospel with good principles,” Elder De Feo said. Alberto and Massimo’s beliefs were challenged outside the home. They were the only members in their school in a community with deep Catholic roots and centuries-old traditions. The brothers made it a point to avoid contention and looked for opportunities to explain The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with others. Although the Church in Taranto was small, Massimo said leaders, teachers and youth advisers always made him feel he belonged.

  • Elder-Led Congregationalism at Meadow Creek Church Sunday Night Gatherings May 20 – July 22Nd 2018
    Elder-Led Congregationalism at Meadow Creek Church Sunday Night Gatherings May 20 – July 22nd 2018 The purpose of our 10 Weeks of Gathering: May 20th (Craig Howse) This is the coming together of the body to think and wrestle through 10 questions on elder leadership to answer one question: “Should Meadow Creek Church adopt elder leadership?” As we do this, we are acknowledging the biblical roots of the Meadow Creek and this church’s deep love for the Bible. I love that about Meadow Creek. We have discussed and we believe that the existing deacon based governance structure grew out of the early members’ understanding of the Bible and their experiences. We want to build on that and pursue further our understanding of biblical church leadership and its forms. A word about resources. As we tackle each of these questions, there are a number of men studying together and we are using a number of resources. o Would the men who have been part of this study so far please stand? This is helpful as we are laboring to handle God’s word accurately and the questions and probing of others helps us do that. o We are also helped by a number of resources. If you are interested in those resources, see me afterwards, and I can share the titles with you. o Tonight, we want to give you two of the resources: . Understanding Church Leadership, and . Understanding the Congregation’s Authority. We have 30 copies of each. You should take a set per family, if you will read them.

  • Elder Update August 2020 Don Provided the Elder Reflection from Psalm 133 on Unity of the Elder and of the Body of Christ. O
    Elder Update August 2020 This new communication method is an effort by your SBC Elders to better connect with and update our church family on some of the activities with which the Elder board has been involved. For more information or to share concerns please contact one of your SBC Elders. There are normally two elder board meetings each month. The first meeting will include staff, and focus on staff development and prayer. The second monthly meeting will include only the elders and will focus on our agenda considerations. ● Don provided the Elder Reflection from Psalm 133 on unity of the elder and of the body of Christ. Our unity is a blessing from God, born of humility under His Lordship, modeled among our people, and strengthening us in our service in the Kingdom together. ● Funds on hand are doing well one month into the new church year. We continue to be grateful for the faithfulness of the SBC community. ● Pastor Steve described the next series of Sunday messages on the Life of Jesus. The series will concentrate on five significant characteristics of the life of Jesus: ‣ Where I see the power of Jesus ‣ Where I see the wisdom and brilliance of Jesus ‣ Where I see the grace, mercy, and forgiveness of Jesus ‣ Where I see the new life of Jesus ‣ Where I find hope through Jesus Our vision and purpose is to help our people become rooted again in the gospels. ● We are developing new Ministry Teams, to (a) broaden our leadership to be more mission-driven, (b) deepen our leadership to be mixed-gender and multi-generational, and (c) help more people actively participate and be equipped for SBC’s mission.
