Finally, Paul includes social requirements. Again this seems purely pragmatic. A leader's good reputation will reflect positively on the church he or she attends and will also give them and the church ministry access to the community. Paul's social concern is the image of the church to the world. Table 5 shows the social qualifications of a leader.
Table 5 – Social and Church Qualifications
The problem is that wholly qualified leadership is difficult to come by yet the church continues to grow in need of leaders from nursery workers to church boards members to pastors. Therefore, no individual or team will be perfect and the leader must employ several techniques that allow growth past the leader's immaturities. This punctuates the importance of the emerging leader to be a person having deep spiritual faith which continues to lead and guide them into all truth and love and the need for spiritual and ministry accountability.
