The purpose of this study was to discern relationships between a biblically derived shepherd/servant model of leadership and the revitalization of local congregations in the Presbytery of Memphis of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) (PCUSA). Since the 1960s, mainline denominations' membership has declined. The Presbytery of Memphis, the basic unit studied, participated in the decline of the PCUSA. The dynamic model developed in this dissertation combines the shepherd and servant metaphors to develop a biblical, narrative-driven model for transformational leadership. Interviews with individual leaders was the basic research tool, however personal experience was also an important factor.
