This dissertation examines the relationship between transformational leadership and church growth in immigrant churches. More specifically, the researcher studied the leadership of Rev. Young Choon Chang, the senior pastor of the Korean American Presbyterian Church of Queens (KAPCQ) and the impact of his leadership on the growth of KAPCQ. This research employed qualitative study methods with information obtained through interviews, surveys, documents, and observations. The results of this research are stated below. First, we know that in the late 20th century a fresh wave of leaders transformed nations and organizations with a style of leadership that recent leadership research has defined as transformational leadership. This newly defined leadership model promises to change the very essence of organizations that under inefficient leadership had not looked beyond the status quo. Second, although the term 'transformational leadership' was coined by James MacGregor Burns in 1978, the researcher found that the idea of transformational leadership originated in the concept of man's creation in the image of God and the creation mandate in the Bible. Third, biblical transformational leadership is characterized by a leader with a servant heart and God-sized vision, who fulfills that vision through the power of the Word and Spirit, thereby bringing change to the church.
