Abstract
This project seeks to train future pastors to assess and lead organizational change in future ministries through Centerville Christian Fellowship in Centerville, Ohio. Chapter 1 provides a history and overview of the context of Centerville Christian Fellowship, as well as the goals and methodology of this project. Chapter 2 examines the biblical and theological foundations for this project by exegeting five passages of Scripture (Acts 20:17–32; 2 Tim 4:1–5; 1 Pet 5:1–4) to demonstrate that how a pastor leads change is as important as the changes made. Chapter 3 provides evidence that faithful pastors must know their ministry context, understand the differing priorities of needed change, lead with patience and boldness, and manifest a willingness to adjust as necessary. Chapter 4 describes the project itself, presenting details about planning and implementation. Chapter 5 evaluates the project against the stated goals. The goal of this project is that God would be glorified as pastors assess and lead organizational change in ways that honor Christ and edify the local church.
