Business Proposal Part 1

The original problem

The church leaders competing for positions

Stakeholders who happen to be affected by the problem

The whole church congregation is affected, especially the believers. Other church leaders are also affected, as well.

The impact

Leadership competition in the church leads to a reduction of the kingdom of God to oneself. In the church, people do not compete because they want to expound on the kingdom of God, but because they want to increase their kingdom. Only the winnable kings compete among each other, but the servant leaders only serves others (Thompson, 2015). Similarly, the church is divided as a result of the conflicts and disagreement from their leaders. Competition denounces the church members and leaders to help one another; as a result, the church loses its meaning and mission. The action encourages arrogance and judgementalism. The leader who competes will only talk about their strengths and build themselves by tearing other members apart. Competition for position fosters distrust among leaders (Stott, 2016). Competing leaders struggle a lot to create a trust for one another. The competition also creates work-based theology where church leaders move around looking for greener pasture instead of being appointed because of their devotion and value. Competition in the church also reduces accountability and life on life Christianity. The church leaders are not willing, to be honest about their experiences. As a Christian, one should admit to their weaknesses; however, competition does not allow this.

Type of problem

The problem is based on skills, knowledge, and competition. Church leaders should undergo leadership training to know what entails of a servant. Jesus Christ was an example of a servant leader, and he cared a lot about others and not himself. Also, ethical leadership is essential while training church leaders. Church leaders also lack knowledge about how competition divides the kingdom of God.

Causes

Church leaders do not receive sufficient training. Additionally, there are insufficient programs to mentor church leaders.

Goals

The church focuses on making the kingdom of God bigger through collaboration between leaders and the Congregation.

Proposal for addressing the problem

The pastor should not be the primary care give because he will have a lot of work to do and miss out on many other vital areas. Additionally, the church should have a clear strategy where the mission and vision answers why the church is in existence (Sims & Quatro, 2015). The church should also deal way with leaders who only hold titles but not working in accord with the church’s vision of serving others. The church should look for leaders who have a record of handling other responsibilities area of life because they are leading leaders. Then the church should cut off too much meeting and concentrate on building the faith of the believers as well.

When church leaders receive appropriate training, they will cooperate instead of competing. As a result, the church will be united and build the kingdom of God and not the individuals. Christians and church leaders should remain obedient and faithful and leave out the rest to God. God told Israel, "So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build, and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant" (Josh. 24:13). Christians should only do what is required of them by God, and they will receive less or more because it is all founded on obedience.

Final problem statement

Train the church leaders about the element of church leadership

Stop employing unqualified church leaders, for instance, those who are not saved

Create the clear mission and vision that outline the duties of everyone in the organization.
