Abstract

In the ever-evolving era of globalization and modernization, the church is required to not only maintain the purity of its teachings but also manage its ministry effectively and relevantly. Leadership in the church, espe-cially in the Pentecostal tradition, has an important role in shaping the direction and spirit of the ministry. However, there are still many churches that experience obstacles in developing a vision and mission that is contextualized with the changing times and the needs of the congregation. The phenomenon that is often found is the preparation of the vision and mission of the church, which is merely symbolic, without strategic implementation that has a real impact. This research aims to theologically examine the role of Pentecostal leadership in the dynamics of church management, especially in preparing an effective vision and mission. The method used is a qualitative approach with literature study and narrative analysis of theological and ma-nagerial principles of the church. The results show that the preparation of a successful vision and mission in the Pentecostal context is influenced by charismatic leadership, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and openness to the dynamics of the times. Leaders who have a strong theological foundation will be able to integrate spi-rituality and ministry strategies. Thus, the church can become more relevant, transformative, and purposeful in responding to the challenges of modernization.

 

Abstrak

Era globalisasi dan modernisasi yang terus berkembang, gereja dituntut untuk tidak hanya menja-ga kemurnian ajaran, tetapi juga mengelola pelayanannya dengan efektif dan relevan. Kepemim-pinan dalam gereja, khususnya dalam tradisi Pentakostal, memiliki peran penting dalam memben-tuk arah dan semangat pelayanan. Namun, masih banyak gereja yang mengalami kendala dalam menyusun visi dan misi yang kontekstual dengan perubahan zaman dan kebutuhan jemaat. Feno-mena yang sering ditemukan adalah penyusunan visi dan misi gereja yang bersifat simbolis sema-ta, tanpa implementasi strategis yang berdampak nyata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara teologis peran kepemimpinan Pentakostal dalam dinamika manajemen gereja, khususnya dalam penyusunan visi dan misi yang efektif. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuali-tatif dengan studi pustaka dan analisis naratif terhadap prinsip-prinsip teologis dan manajerial ge-reja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyusunan visi dan misi yang berhasil dalam konteks Pentakostal dipengaruhi oleh kepemimpinan yang berkarisma, peka terhadap Roh Kudus, dan ter-buka terhadap dinamika zaman. Pemimpin yang memiliki dasar teologi yang kuat akan mampu mengintegrasikan spiritualitas dan strategi pelayanan. Dengan demikian, gereja dapat menjadi le-bih relevan, transformatif, dan terarah dalam menjawab tantangan modernisasi.
