Abstract

This project chronicles the shift one pastor and congregation has made from the traditional, organizational structure of a United Methodist Church to an organic system flowing out of the spiritual gifts of the congregation. The author combines the disciplines of biblical/theological reflection on spiritual gifts (charismata), change theory, leadership theory, and systems theory in an integrated approach to leading the Christ United Methodist Church of Erie, PA through this shift. The project concludes with nine practical lessons learned in the process, which will provide helpful insights to other church leaders.
