“The priesthood of all believers” is something we want to reclaim

We want to give priority to training and raising leaders in the division.

What we’ve heard you say:

• The Priesthood of all believers equalises and empowers people to be Jesus in their community.
• It changes the view of the officer as the only one qualified to share their story with others or to disciple people.
• Acknowledgement that serving others enables a greater sense of connection. 

We have also heard:

• Concern about future leadership and where this is going to come from.
• There is a need to rethink the officer model and its conditions.
• The challenge of encouraging lay participation against the demands of modern leadership.
• Compliance associated with onboarding acts as a deterrent to utilizing people in our corps.
• People are not buying into the traditional discipleship pathways. For example; Junior Soldiers, Corps Cadets, Senior Soldiers.
