We feel that this model of leadership is best suited to meet the needs of our body, and to position us for all that God has called us to. A relational wineskin creates an environment of investment and commitment, an environment of covenant. Rather than being governed by lists of rules and regulations, we are free to be governed by relationship. This creates greater accountability, in an environment of greater freedom. There is no fear of failure or punishment. Rather, we create a natural balancing mechanism in which each persons weaknesses are balanced out by another’s strengths.

This leadership wineskin creates ownership as each person is responsible for the success of Eastgate's initiatives. Each member of the body, in fact, is vital for the fulfillment of our large vision. And it will require the ‘buy in’ of each person to see our mandate and mission come to pass.

The security that results from this type of leadership structure alleviates the push to be agenda-driven, and gives us the freedom to be passion-driven!

We are so excited about the future as we all continue to get on the same page, and ‘build according to the pattern!’
