Abstract

The thesis of this dissertation focuses on the idea that medium-sized Presbyterian Churches in the PCUSA offer a unique opportunity for growth within a denomination experiencing declining membership. This paper starts with an identification of common factors for church growth, then specifically exposits systematic changes that can be implemented in PCUSA churches to create a healthier culture. The hypotheses of this paper describe three areas of potential change to grow healthier medium-sized PCUSA churches: the size of the local church leadership board, the implementation of policy governance practices, and the introduction of transformational leadership training in the local church.
