Abstract

This project addresses leadership succession and the difficulty that all churches experience with this vital need. The researcher found that a successful leadership succession depends upon a well-planned transition. The research consisted of a case study of four small independent churches. The researcher compared the traditional and apostolic approaches to leadership succession. Through grounded theory and coding of the data, the researcher identified factors that contribute to both the positives and obstacles of a good leadership succession. The research provided evidence that a renewed apostolic approach to leadership succession is more effective than traditional methods.
