It is a common perception that churches with effective leaders have more unity among the members. If the pastor performs a poor job of keeping the congregation together, the church will not function as a whole. This is not an easy task. It requires great wisdom, sensitivity, and temperament to withstand the inevitable internal conflicts in a church. 

Sometimes you will have to encourage people to come to the table and work out issues together. Sometimes you will have to step in and mediate. These are all parts of the balance you need to strike to lead a church through divisions. 

With this in mind, how do you cultivate unity in your congregation? 

This is a difficult question, but the key is to balance sensitivity, humility, and leadership and recognize when to step in and when to step back. There is no easy answer, but many people who have successfully led churches through divisions have gained wisdom and insight through the process.

To elaborate on this, we are pleased to have Pastor Robert Lane who will be speaking at length about this important topic. We are blessed to gain insights from pastors who have navigated the challenges of leading through division.

“Be a leader who shows what it is that we're supposed to be representing. No one's going to be in unity if the leader is not walking with that as well.”
-Rob Lane

It is time we let go of our divisions that have grown up in the church and work as a unified body of Christ. We have a responsibility to shepherd the flock in unity and the knowledge of the truth. We cannot let divisions get in the way of this goal!

• How to encourage unity in the church
