Cultivating Missional Leadership Characteristics Through A Small Group Spiritual Formation Program For Pastors, David John Cooke
ATS Dissertations
Pastoral ministry is rife with leadership pressures and challenges.

Relational Leadership: A Study Of Organizational Health And Clergy Within The Wesleyan Church, Brian Voyght Bradford
ATS Dissertations

The staff pastor’s productivity decreases and the church ceases to be what God designed it to be—a place of relational and social connection.
The purpose of this study was to determine characteristics of relational leadership …
