Abstract
This project focuses on how adaptive leadership is used and can be used by individuals--both ministers and laypersons--who lead multi-worshiping congregations, that is, congregations that worship in two or more different styles. The bulk of the primary research for this study consisted of interviews with the members and staff of three multi-worshiping congregations. This study shows that the multi-worshiping church requires a leadership model that is transforming, a model that meets the needs of those in the congregation and engages the values that they hold. It needs to be a model that helps churches to deal with challenges that are brand new to them, challenges that cannot be solved by simply doing the same old thing. It needs to be a model of leadership that is adaptive enables leaders to become proficient at mobilizing people to tackle tough problems.
