Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the impact of effective administration on church growth. Other objectives were to identify the functions and duties of Church administration in a church and also to identify the other factors militating against church growth. The research design adopted for this work is cross –sectional survey and descriptive analysis on a randomly selected sample of the different categories of Church administration (Bishops, Pastors and Priests). A total of one hundred and twenty well-structured questionnaires were distributed among the principal management. The descriptive statistics was used to analyse the research questions while chi-square was employed to test the null hypotheses. Findings from the study reveals that majority of the respondents are of the opinion that Church administration plays a vital role in ensuring growth of the church. The finding from the study also reveals that a church will grow if Church administration are actively involved in the affairs of the church.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Management is indeed a dynamic reciprocal process of personal influence by which a manager or a management shapes the attitudes and activities of others towards the achievement or attainment of organizational objectives (Abogunrin, 1986). Even before the modern concepts of management came into being, the apostle of Jesus Christ, Paul in the Pastorals lists the qualifications for Church administration to ensure sustainable growth (Dairo, 2007). These have remained the model for ages. For any Church administration to steer the ship of the church successfully, these qualities must be imbibed. But contemporary experience in Nigeria has shown a marked departure from this Pauline list of qualifications for Church administration which has really affected growth of churches. The level of understanding expected from both the management and the followers is missing in most cases. This often results in crises within “the body of Christ”.

There are some common features in various definitions of management. It will be presumptuous for anyone to attempt a definition that will satisfy the populace especially regarding Church administration. Management is nothing if not linked to collective purpose; and the effectiveness of management must be judged not by press clippings but by actual social change, measured by intent and by satisfaction of human needs and expectations which on the long term will be visible on the church growth and development.

Oluwasegun (2005) defines management as the ability to gain consensus and commitment to common objectives beyond organizational requirements which are attained with experience or contribution and satisfaction on the part of the working group. Management could also be defined as the relationship in which one person or the management influences others to work together willingly on related tasks to attain that which the management desires. It is a means of direction. Management is the ability of management to induce the subordinates to work towards a group’s goals with confidence and keenness. It implies that the management accepts responsibility for the achievement of the group objectives and it is, therefore, essential for the trust and cooperation from both sides to be evidence all the time (Oluwasegun, 2005). Management is an art of getting things done. It can be learnt, improved, developed and perfected. It is the key process of influence and the process always includes a number of key components such as management and followers, they interact in situations and means of influence which emerge from the management and from the followers, based on their value system and goals which the management and the followers seek to achieve (Dairo, 2004).

With respect to Church administration, it implies that the Church administration gives direction, motivates, reprimands and develops a set objective along with his group and resolves individual or group needs within the church. This is perceived as the only way towards the church growth. In the New Testament it was more often used as Christological title for the exalted Jesus. The results of semasiological and lexicographical investigation of secular Greek indicate an extremely polyvalent spectrum of meaning for the word “Church administration”, the basis being he who is the first, who stands at the head of, who leads.

 

According to the New Testament, the terms “bishop,””pastor,” and “elder” are synonymous. Bishop means “overseer,” and the elders had the responsibility of overseeing the work of the church (Acts 20:17,28; 1Pet5:1-3). “Elder” is the translation of the Greek word presbytes, which means “an old man.” Paul used the word presbytery in (1Tim 4:14), referring not to a denomination, but to the “eldership” of the assembly that ordained Timothy. Elders and bishops (two names for the same office, (cf Titus 1:5,7) were mature people with spiritual wisdom and experience to ensure the survival of the church of God. Also, “pastor” means “shepherd,” one who leads and cares for the flock of God (Vine, 1996:67).

 

 

1.2     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

According to Dairo (2008), many Churches in Nigeria are characterized with false teaching, preconceived ideas and human-formed regulations which have too often undermined the Holy Spirit’s specification and has militated greatly against church growth. According to Apostle Paul, Church administration must be kind of man that can carry the followers along. All Church administration may not possess these qualities in the same measure but a management must have these quality attributes to a degree that is noticeable in his life to ensure sustainable growth.

 

If a man is known to be harsh instead of being gentle, intemperate instead of being temperate, disgraceful instead of being respectable, he has disqualified himself (Bible Org. 2004). The work of Church administration is a noble task. Such an office needs the right kind of people to serve. Accumulation of material wealth, by capitalizing on the “gross ignorance” of the people about the teaching of the Bible on wealth by Church administration as also limited growth of many churches because of the increased awareness of these dubious strategies. However, the researcher is examining the role of Church administration in the growth of a church.

 

 

1.3     OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The following are the objectives of this study:

  1. To examine the role of Church administration in the growth of a church.
  2. To identify the functions and duties of Church administration in a church.
  3. To identify the other factors militating against church growth.
    • RESEARCH QUESTIONS
  4. What is the role of Church administration in the growth of a church?
  5. What are the functions and duties of Church administration in a church?
  6. What are the other factors militating against church growth?

1.5     HYPOTHESIS

HO: Church administration do not have a role in church growth

HA: Church administration do have a role in church growth

1.6     SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The following are the significance of this study:

  1. Findings from this study will educate the church authorities and the general public in Nigeria on what the Church administration need to do or incorporate into the system to ensure growth.
  2. This research will also serve as a resource base to other scholars and researchers interested in carrying out further research in this field subsequently, if applied will go to an extent to provide new explanation to the topic.

1.7     SCOPE/LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

This study will cover the activities of churches in Nigeria with special focus on the roles and duties of the Church administration

Limitations of study

  1. Financial constraint– Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet, questionnaire and interview).
  2. Time constraint– The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.
