Abstract

The study seeks to validate a hypothesis of leadership concerning the nature of pastoral leadership. The hypothesis states that an effective Christian leader maximizes his strengths, minimizes his weaknesses, and develops in Christlike character in order to attract others to accomplish a common vision. To validate the hypothesis, two leaders were chosen who pastor visibly successful churches. Through the use of questionnaire, the Personal Profiles System (Performax), on-site observation, and church documentation, the case study ascertained whether the senior pastors were operating from a strength-based methodology. Questions focusing on the five areas of the hypothesis were asked of the senior pastor, two staff members, two board members, the pastor's spouse, and twenty-five members of the congregation chosen at random. The final purpose of the project is to develop recommendations and tools to help pastors grow in the use of their gifts in leadership.
