Kingdom Administration
Andy Childerhouse
Administration in the church is concerned with providing wise counsel, knowledge and insight, direction and leadership. It makes things happen, planning, organizing, supervising and helping, and equipping and releasing others. The biblical model is one where the administrator (Kubernesis) supports the apostle to build and establish the church and in so doing to extend the kingdom of God. The administrator’s role, and the Gospel of Jesus, cannot be properly understood without an adequate understanding of the Kingdom of God. The kingdom of God was the topic that Jesus spoke most about. Without an understanding of the kingdom of God, an administrator may labour and build a work that is superficially impressive (e.g. with a smart, new building and a large congregation) but which fails in its mission of advancing the kingdom.

Kingdom Administration

Administration, within the context of the Kingdom of God and the church, is a spiritual gift. Whilst it shares some attributes with business administration the two should not be confused.
