Abstract

Pastors are not always aware of how they view and use their power in ministry. An overuse of power could lead to a negative, controlling environment where churches and people are harmed. An underuse of power could lead to a general malaise in the church: a lack of direction and passion for the Lord's work. This thesis-project was a leadership awareness study of the nature of power and authority in the role of pastoral leadership in which the biblical and theological perspectives on the issue of pastoral authority were explored. A protocol for pastors was developed to assist them in becoming more self-aware of their authority and how they can employ that authority more effectively for the glory of God.
