The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a relationship exists between the minister's power and congregational health. A research survey was sent to 500 Seventh-day Adventist congregational leaders to rate their ministers according to five bases of power (Expert, Referent, Reward, Legitimate, and Coercive). The survey also asked the respondents to reflect on the health and morale of their congregations. The results of this study indicate that pastoral power has the potential either to improve the church's situation or to make it worse, and that it is statistically predictable.
