Christian leaders are called to live lives above reproach and manage their own families well as they shepherd the church they have been called to. It is a daunting but essential task.

Increasingly people in our church families have experienced broken relationships and poor role models, and they look closely at their leaders to be examples of a gospel centred family life. This gaze puts leaders under particular scrutiny, which can be hard to bear, particularly for the children.
