Abstract
  • This study compared the relationship between pastoral tenure and congregational growth in the churches planted by the northern Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church from 1980-2000 and sought to discern the causes of pastoral turnover in those churches. In the churches where the founding pastor provided long-term leadership, more consistent growth occurred. The difficult issues faced by the founding pastors were also evaluated in this study along with strategies designed to help navigate these challenges. The study encourages church leaders to develop an intentional commitment to long-term pastoral tenure in church planting, a commitment to 'staying power.'
