I believe the best elders and deacons are “homegrown.” That is one reason in the works we support, we always try to install a local preacher to grow a leadership.
I had to leave my roots in order to go to college. As a preacher, there are only so many jobs in my home area, then again we know that prophet has no honor in his hometown. I have preached all over this great country and have many close friends all over. You can find your people wherever you are.
I get that that’s what had to be done in the system, but I think that system actively harms the church. Localized leadership training would make the church far stronger.

Agreed. That’s what I had growing up. The church was outstanding!
