This study explores the link between resources and sexuality education within the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS). Six churches were involved in this study representing small, medium, and large congregations based on the full-time employed staff. Both church staff and volunteers were interviewed to learn the following: 1) What kind of sexuality education services does the church provide? 2) What are the sexuality education needs of the church membership? 3) What resources are necessary for providing sexuality education? 4) What are the barriers to providing sexuality education? The findings indicate that all churches were providing sexuality education; however, there were great variations. Each church also had unique resources and barriers for providing additional sexuality education for parishioners in various life stages. It was found that resources have a huge impact on the availability of sexuality education within a church setting. These resources were found to be tangible and intangible along with internal and external to the church.

Full textThis dissertation explores contemporary church planting experiences across select locational contexts. In the 21st century, there has been an intentional focus and renewed vigor among several Christian Protestant denominations, church planting networks, and church planting churches to effectively influence the start and growth of new churches. These church planting entities are attempting to address changing spiritual, geographical, sociological, and cultural realities in the United States through the entrepreneurial endeavor of founding new churches. This strategy of outreach is increasing in use because new churches tend to be pioneering, adaptable, and able to meet the needs of different populations. However, the available evidence and information about church planting is less than comprehensive. This qualitative research study was conducted to add insights to the entrepreneurship, leadership, and organizational change literature by exploring church planting across select locational contexts. This study utilized 11 church planting expert interviews and two mini-case studies of extant churches in order to examine five factors that are considered key in church planting: the overarching church planting perspective, church plant support systems, leadership approaches, organizational change, and successful outcomes. A key goal of the study was to identify and acknowledge diverse perspectives and realities in the church planting experience. The findings revealed a need for a universal definition of church planting and a more comprehensive and holistic approach to church plant support systems, leadership development, and the management of change. Further studies could include a more extended, multi-year longitudinal study that evaluates the organizational change approaches of diverse church plants, and use of experimental research design studies to assess collaboration across churches and church planting entities.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The conception of relationship marketing has led to an increased interest in organisations developing long-term relationships with their members or clients. The emphasis has shifted from a transaction-based marketing approach to a relationshipbased marketing approach. This shift has resulted in an increased need for research in the field of relationship marketing in for-profit as well as non-profit organisations. The purpose of this study was to identify and assess the dimensions through which South African churches can manage commitment with their members. These dimensions are regarded as antecedents to commitment and were identified through a literature review. The literature review identified 11 antecedents of church commitment, which were classified into antecedents that are specifically relevant to churches, and those with a broader appeal. Furthermore, churches were classified whether they can be viewed as traditional or non-traditional. An empirical investigation followed the literature review and included a pilot and a comprehensive empirical study among the total student population of Stellenbosch University, as in 2011. After the pilot study was conducted the number of antecedents was reduced to eight, while three antecedents had to be renamed. The final empirical study provided support for two antecedents of church commitment, namely ‘small-groups’ and ‘reliability’. In addition, significant differences were found between traditional and non-traditional churches in respect of the confirmed relationships. Consequently, a framework was developed by which churches can manage commitment with their members. This study makes a valuable contribution to the relationship marketing literature, since no formally published study could be found in which relationship marketing was used to identify the antecedents of church commitment.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die voortbestaan van verhoudingsbemarking het gelei tot 'n toename in organisasies se belangstelling in die ontwikkeling van lang termyn verhoudinge met hulle kliënte en/of lede. Die fokus het gevolglik verskuif vanaf 'n transaksie-gebaseerde benadering tot bemarking, tot 'n meer verhoudings-gebaseerde benadering. Hierdie verskuiwing het gelei tot 'n toenemende belangstelling in, en behoefte aan navorsing op die terrein van verhoudingsbemarking, beide ten opsigte van winssoekende asook nie-winssoekende organisasies. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die dimensies aan die hand waarvan Suid- Afrikaanse kerke hul toewyding (commitment) met hul lidmate kan bestuur, te identifiseer en te assesseer. Hierdie dimensies kan beskou word as boustene (antecedents) van toewyding en is geïdentifiseer deur middel van 'n literatuuroorsig. Die literatuuroorsig het 11 boustene van kerk-toewyding geïdentifiseer, wat geklassifiseer is volgens daardie boustene wat spesifiek relevant tot kerke is, en daardie boustene met 'n wyer aantrekking. Voorts is kerke geklassifiseer ten opsigte van of hulle as tradisioneel of nie-tradisioneel beskou kan word. Die literatuuroorsig is gevolg deur die empiriese studie, wat uit twee komponente bestaan het: 'n voorafstudie (pilot study), gevolg deur die hoof empiriese studie onder die totale studente-populasie van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch, soos in 2011. Op grond van die resultate van die voorafstudie is die aantal boustene verminder tot agt, terwyl drie boustene herbenoem moes word. Die finale empiriese studie het ondersteuning gebied vir twee boustene van toewyding, naamlik ‘klein-groepies’ (small-groups) en ‘betroubaarheid’ (reliability). Verder is beduidende verskille gevind tussen tradisionele en nie-tradisionele kerke ten opsigte van die verhoudinge wat as beduidend bevind is. 'n Raamwerk is gevolglik ontwikkel waarvolgens kerke hul toewyding met hul lidmate kan bestuur. Hierdie studie maak 'n waardevolle bydrae tot die literatuur van verhoudingsbemarking, aangesien geen soortgelyke formele gepubliseerde studie gevind kon word waarin verhoudingsbemarking gebruik is om die boustene van kerktoewyding te identifiseer nie.

Full textBinne alle soorte van organisasies is dit 'n sleuteldoelwit van bestuur om die organisasie se bestaande sukses in die markplek te fasiliteer en die toekoms daarvan te verseker. "lndeed, good strategy and good strategy execution are the most trustworthy signs of good management" (Thompson & Strickland, 2003). In die privaatsektor word formele strategiese bestuursraamwerke, modelIe en prosesse wyd toegepas ten einde die formulering en implementering van doelmatige strategiee te ondersteun. In die nie-winsgewende omgewing, insluitende religieuse organisasies soos kerke, word strategiese bestuursmodelle nouliks gebruik. Die akademiese literatuur bevat min oor strategie en die toepassing daarvan op religieuse organisasies, wat kerke insluit. Hierdie tekortkoming het 'n geleentheid vir ondersoek geskep. Die navorsingsprobleem wat dus aangespreek word in die werkstuk is die volgende: Kan die strategiese-formnuleringsraamwerk wat ontwikkel word in die besigheidsomgewing toegepas of aangepas word om 'n betroubare raamwerk vir strategie formulering in die Christelike Kerk daar te stel? 'n Uitgebreide literare soektog was onderneem. Dit sluit in materiaal oor strategiese bestuur, ekonomie, sosiologie, sendingkunde en algemene kerkliteratuur. As sodanig vorm dit die basis vir die ontwerp van 'n strategie formuleringsraamwerk wat bepalend is tot die Christelike Kerk. Alle Christelike Kerke is geroepe om in terme van die Groot Opdrag uit te reik en die evangelie te verkondig. Dit vorm deurgans die kernsending vir kerke. Die voorgestelde raamwerk erken die grondslag en sentrale rol van hierdie sending in die strategieformulering van die Christelike Kerk. Om die rede is die raamwerk die sending-gebaseerde raamwerk ("mission-based framework-) genoem. Hierdie sending-gebaseerde raamwerk erken die voordele van integrasie van die buite-in en binne-buite benaderinge tot strategiesebestuur. Dit omsluit beide 'n eksteme en interne ontledingselement. Hierdie kernkonsep van sending is 'n verwysingspunt vir die ander elemente. Die eksterne en interne analises word gedoen met verwysing na die sending. Die strategiese strekking word ook gerig met die sending. Die analise-integrasie element kombineer die bevindinge van die eksterne en interne analises. Die uitkoms word vergelyk met die strategiese strekking, wat weereens in Iyn is met die sending. Die strategie wat geformuleer is, word gemeet teen die sending. Die sending-gebaseerde raamwerk is toegepas ten einde die gebruik daarvan te toets as 'n instrument in die Kerk. In die werkstuk is die toepassing breed en gemik op die voorbeeldsteliing van die proses. Die raamwerk kan nietemin toegepas word op verskillende vlakke: industrie, kerklike of individuele kerkvlak. Na voltooiing en dokumentering van die ondersoek, en gebaseer op die uitgebreide akademiese en ander literatuur, is die navorsingsprobleem positief beantwoord. Die strategie formuleringsraamwerke en modelle wat ontwikkel is binne die besigheidsomgewing kan met kleinere verandering gebruik word om 'n geldige raamwerk te voorsien vir die formulering van strategie in die Christelike Kerk. Die kwessie van strategiese bestuur en die Christelike Kerk is op 'n bree en konseptuele wyse aangespreek in die werkstuk. Dit het toegelaat vir toepasbare navorsing oor die onderwerp. Nietemin is daar ander aspekte van ondersoek wat gevolg kan word en wat die ondersoek derhalwe kan verbreed. Daar is 'n beperktheid aan akademiese literatuur wat strategiese bestuur binne die Christelike Kerk, aanspreek. Die ondersoek wat in die werkstuk weerspieel word, is interessant en nuttig, en dit het op sekere wyse bygedra tot die uitbreiding van die kennisliggaam.

Full textWhile a growing body of theoretical and empirical work has focused on shared leadership, less attention has been given to the examination of shared leadership in church organizations. More specifically, little previous research has considered the potential relationship between shared leadership and team effectiveness in the local church.
This study examined the extent to which one local church possessed the five conditions researchers found to be most consequential to team effectiveness—Real Team, Direction, Enabling Structure, Supportive Organizational Context, and Available Coaching. Drawing on existing research on a variety of effective teams around the world, three primary hypotheses were proposed and tested. First, it was hypothesized that a local church elder team effectively practicing shared leadership will possess the conditions most consequential to team effectiveness. It was also hypothesized that a local church elder team effectively practicing shared leadership will possess the conditions at a rate comparable to other non-church, senior leadership teams. Further, it was predicted that a local church elder team effectively practicing shared leadership will possess the conditions at a rate comparable to other church-specific, senior leadership teams. The latter two hypotheses were divided into five sub-hypotheses, one for each of the five conditions measured in the study.
Survey data were collected from each elder team member using the Team Diagnostic Survey (TDS). Data were analyzed by the TDS research team and evaluated by the researcher of this study.
The first of the three primary hypotheses was fully supported. In both of the remaining primary hypotheses, four of the five sub-hypotheses were supported, while the sub-hypotheses related to the condition of Direction was not supported. Results revealed that Destiny Church's elder team possessed the conditions most consequential to team effectiveness, and at a rate comparable to other teams and church-specific teams, except on the condition of Direction.
This study offered the subject team an objective assessment of its shared leadership practice and in-depth insights. A theological framework was developed briefly and offered in order to clarify and buttress their biblical argument for shared leadership. A comprehensive set of comparative data and feedback was compiled for the benefit of the present study, the subject team, and others who might be interested in the topic, based on the results of the TDS.
