Abstract

The purpose of this Doctor of Ministry project was to research Ethiopian church governance to create a training manual for the Wongel Amagnoch Church of South Africa (WAC). This project undertook an extensive literature review encompassing historical documents, contemporary studies, and scriptural references. Theological foundations were established through an exploration of relevant biblical passages. The project progressed to the development of a training manual aimed at enhancing leadership awareness of church governance. This manual was utilized during a three-day virtual session, which replaced the regular in-person WAC General Assembly meetings held three times annually. These sessions focused on biblical governance models and best practices, with the virtual format necessitated by legal concerns and travel logistics, ensuring broader participation and compliance. The effectiveness of the research and the governance manual was evaluated using rubrics, matrixes, checklists, assessment tests, feedback, guides, and analysis frameworks. This project provided a framework for effective church governance and served as a model for other Ethiopian churches seeking to enhance their governance practices.
