Abstract

Based on data obtained through the Pastoral Leadership Survey this thesis-project provides a picture of management in independent fundamental churches. Surveys mailed to 10 per cent of the pastors in churches affiliated with Independent Fundamental Churches of America (IFCA) were used to ascertain styles of management practiced in IFCA churches. Pastors were asked to choose which of five statements pertaining to basic management functions best described how they felt, thought or acted. The overall picture which developed placed these pastors on a grid indicating their concern for people and/or mission. Prior to the section giving the survey results, a theological overview of the biblical material concludes that both the dimensions of people and mission are important in the ministry.
