Abstract

This project examines the development of strategy to transition a traditional Pentecostal church into a purpose-driven church. Chapter one describes the church setting, defines the project, and provides rationale for the work. Chapter two examines Exodus 19:1-6, Isaiah 40-66, Matthew 22:34-40, Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 2:42-45 as representative Old and New Testament passages regarding God's purposes for the church. Chapter three examines contemporary writings on purpose, vision, values, change and transition. Chapter three presents a model of purpose-driven church and another church that underwent transition toward being purpose-driven. Chapter four describes the intervention and testing used in the project. Interventions focused on sermons and meetings, while testing used questionnaires and interviews. Chapter five analyzes the results of the testing using subjective and objective evaluations. It also reviews and comments on the process followed in this project.
