Abstract

Church leadership today faces complex issues and challenges related to spiritual stagnation among congregations and shifting moral values. Many church leaders still prioritize administrative and managerial approaches,  so that New Testament (NT) theological principles,  which should serve as the ethical and spiritual foundation,  are often not applied consistently. The spiritual transformation of congregations is hindered by the lack of integration of Christian values into everyday leadership practices. This study aims to explore how a New Testament theological approach can serve as a conceptual framework for shaping transformative church leadership and fostering Christian value-based spiritual growth within congregations. The qualitative descriptive research method employed concludes that New Testament theology provides the philosophical foundation for church leadership,  rooted in the example of Christ and the values of love,  service,  and sacrifice. When implemented through a New Testament theological approach,  transformative church leadership is able to foster a holistic and sustainable renewal of the congregation’s spirituality. The implications of New Testament theology-based church leadership are evident in the growth of the congregation,  which is not only quantitative but also qualitative in terms of maturity of faith and commitment to service
