Abstract

When church leaders prioritize the triad of faith, love and hope, their church will produce a holisitic witness to the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ. This thesis was tested in a workshop with the elders of Sparta Baptist Church. Three inventories evaluated their level of faith, love and hope, respectively. These were accompanied by teaching about the triad's implications for holistic formation of church members and ministry focus. When the elders communicated a ministry plan based on the triad to the church, it contributed to a unified commitment to living by faith, giving love and sharing hope.
