Leadership Ministry: Effects on a Church's CultureLeaders can have a great influence on the culture of the church:
Leaders can have a great influence on the culture of the church because they are in a position to challenge people's underlying beliefs and assumptions and consequently affect their attitudes and subsequently their practices. | ||||||||||

The type of leader at the helm has the potential to bend the culture in certain directions. | |||||||||||
|
The challenge for leaders is therefore to get it right so they bring to the church or ministry organization the right motivations, ambitions, balance, involvement, methods, and unity that will yield a healthy church culture. If the leader does not get it right, the church will tend to reflect the type of leader at the helm rather than fully being the church God wants it to be. Visionary Leaders:
Administrative Leaders:
Shepherding Leaders:
Obviously there is nothing wrong with being a progressive church, or an efficient church, or a church that meets needs. Problems come when any of these is all you emphasize. If all you emphasize is the development of new ministry initiatives, you could possibly end up not being ready to meet the needs that come with growth. For the leader to get it right so the culture more fully reflects God's desires for the church than emphasizing certain qualities because of the type of leader at the helm, then the leader needs to bring himself/herself under constant critique. | |||||||||||
