Abstract

The main thesis of this research project is that by applying Quality Management (TQM) selectively, caring ministry of the traditional Chinese churches can enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality, so that the needs of the congregation could be coped with effectively. According to the findings of a survey on the need of establishing the Quality Age-Graded Caring Group done by the writer in 2000, he found out that since the return of Hong Kong to China, church ministers are facing increasing pressure in pastoral care. Therefore, the writer formulates a 13-point 'E.X.C.E.L.L.E.N.T. C.A.R.E.,' strategies as the foundation on which the church designs her strategies for 'Quality Caring Ministry' (QCM). In addition, the writer introduces a rapidly growing 'Quality Church' in Hong Kong--Shatin Baptist Church--as a case study and investigates how she applies the 13 strategic points of QCM in her pastoral caring ministry to expand God's kingdom. Finally, a draft of a summary outline of actions for the introduction of the QCM scheme in traditional Chinese churches is developed and recommended.
