- Church discipline is a mark of the true church, and pastors are called to understand and implement church discipline as an inherent aspect of pastoral ministry. However, few pastors seem to regard its importance enough to put it into practice, in spite of its clear benefits. Yet, through corrective church discipline, church unity is guarded, and the congregants can grow in faith. Three research questions guided this study: (1) How do pastors understand the principle of church discipline given in Matthew 18:15-20? (2) How do pastors apply their understanding of the principle of church discipline given in Matthew 18:15-20 to their resolution of cases in need of disciplinary action? And, (3) How do pastors evaluate the effects of their application of church discipline upon their congregations? The study utilized a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with six pastors with long and diverse pastoral ministry experience. The data was analyzed using the constant comparative method. The study found that pastors' understanding of church discipline was thorough and deep, but many obstacles occurred in applying it. The study concluded that, despite people's dislike or rejection of church discipline, a deeper understanding and faithfully implementation of discipline will promote church unity and success in pastoral ministry.
