Abstract

The thesis of this dissertation is that there is an association between key leadership practices that allow leaders to transform organizational church culture. The body of the dissertation is divided into three parts. A literature review examines literature associate with leadership, change management, church health and growth, organizational culture, and biblical studies so that key practices can be determined. The research procedure section defines the case study methods, criteria, questions, and reliability of the research. The case studies themselves demonstrate the key leadership practices used by three pastors to bring about culture transformation within each respective church. There are three key practices for leading cultural transformation within churches developed in this dissertation. First, there is an association between the leadership practices of identifying the current cultural philosophies and overall cultural transformation in the church. Second, there is an association between the leadership practices of disrupting the existing cultural philosophies and overall cultural transformation in the church. Third, there is an association between the leadership practice of freezing new cultural philosophies and overall cultural transformation in the church. When each leadership practice is understood and implemented organizational cultural transformation can occur.
