Abstract

Although it is impossible to imagine a more disruptive change to a church than a transition of its senior pastor, this qualitative research project showed that careful attention to the critical factors of (1) an unwavering public respect between the departing pastor and his successor, (2) a ministry philosophy that allows freedom of form while maintaining core function, and (3) a clarity of non-staff church leadership governance that allows the incoming senior pastor both freedom and protection can ease the disruption to a local church and propel its ministry into the future.
