What Resources Do You Have To Train Elders and Deacons?

I’m curious how others approach training and supporting elders and deacons in their churches. What has actually been helpful for you when it comes to identifying, recruiting, and training elders and deacons? Do you use a specific curriculum or have you build something specific for your church? How do you handle the nomination or discernment process? Have you tried mentorship or having people “shadow” the role before stepping in? What onboarding looks like for you, and how do you continue supporting people once they’re in the role?

Looking forward to learning from the Network community about how you approach recruiting, training, and supporting elders and deacons!
