This study found that leaders are divinely empowered and authorized to participate with God mediating the relation- ships between God and man and among men. This study addresses the divine aspect of leadership by examining the relationship between God and leadership roles. Ephesians 4:1-16 was analyzed because Paul associates deity- the ascended Christ- with leadership functions. This research found that Christ represents the Trinity in exalted form, giving gifts and authority to the church for the purpose of building maturity and unity. Socio-rhetorical analysis of the text found five components that compromise a model of divine empowerment: CALLING, MEMBERSHIP, PARTICIPATION, AUTHORITY, & MEDIATING ROLES.
