Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discoer how pastors effectively lead through the changes and challenges of congregational life. Effective pastors lead under God's truth, by God's grace and in covenant with God and people. The pastoral leader's willingness to grow in these three areas has much to do with surviving and thriving in ministry. These healthy connections result in leaders growing and learning even as they lead in the most challenging contexts. A major portion of the paper asserts the importance of holistic spirituality, relational systems, and an adaptive leadership approach as necessary for effective leadership.
