In fact, discipleship continues on to include leadership. We know that to be true by evidence of the spiritual gift of leadership and narratives of the New Testament church addressing issues of leadership.
The church needs good and godly leaders to lead the way toward God’s purpose for the Church, to reach the world for Christ.
The church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply, a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose. (C.S. Lewis)
