Abstract

This work was a study focused on the role of leadership during a capital campaign in a seeker-oriented church. The primary focus was on the role of the senior Pastor. The primary context was a seeker-oriented church, and was led by the pastoral staff more than by committee. It was concerned with he question of what leadership roles and actions would most likely lead to a successful capital campaign. A secondary question dealt with the theological implications related to fundraising in a local church. A primary premise of the work is that there is a strong correlation between the way the primary leader approaches a capital campaign and the effectiveness of that campaign. When the additional issues of a seeker-oriented philosophy are added to the mid, this correlation becomes even stronger. Strong leadership must be theologically driven. The thesis begins with a look at the important roles of the leader during a capital campaign and then explores the complications in a capital campaign for a church that is seeker-oriented. After a review of the literature, the thesis probes the theological issues related to fund-raising. the work includes a chapter defining and defending the case study methodology employed. The thesis then moves into a case study of the leadership of Ogden Church's capital campaign. The thesis concludes with a chapter that evaluates the case and gives suggestions for further study. A question the thesis poses is developed around the idea of what the essential roles and actions within those roles are for a leader to be effective in leading a capital campaign in a seeker-oriented church.
