The concept for this thesis was born out of the author's desire to show the modalities used to implement change over time and the turnaround strategies used for renewal. Chapter one reviews the history of Emley's Hill United Methodist Church from its founding six years after the founding of Methodism in America in 1784 through the first two hundred years, which were most notably marked by a constant cycle of part-time pastors. Chapter two lays out the polity framework of the United Methodist Church within which the author had to operate. Chapter three cites pertinent readings that impacted the author's understanding of the setting and the problems faced. Chapter four presents the project design, describing the work used in gathering the data necessary for renewal. Chapter five explains how the data gathered were implemented, shows how ministry plans were developed, and presents conclusions and summaries.
