Churches in Indonesia face complex challenges in managing generational diversity that triggers conflict, miscommunication, and exodus of younger generations due to monogenerational leadership dominance. This research aims to develop a church leadership framework based on the SERVE model capable of integrating the strengths of each generation, facilitating intergenerational dialogue, transferring wisdom, empowering young leadership without marginalizing seniors, and building a shared vision that transcends generational preferences. The theories used include the SERVE model (Spiritual, Effective, Relational, Visionary leadership, and External relations) from Karl Inge Tangen, cross-generational leadership principles in Titus 2:1-8, as well as concepts of intergenerational leadership, servant leadership, and transformational leadership. The research method uses a qualitative approach with library research through content analysis of biblical texts, theological leadership literature, and previous research. The results show that the integration of five dimensions of the SERVE model with the principles of Titus 2:1-8 produces a comprehensive transformative leadership framework: Spiritual leadership as the foundation of communion with God, Effective leadership as an inclusive system, Relational leadership as the formation of authentic intergenerational community, Visionary leadership as articulation of transcendent shared vision, and External relations as holistic mission mobilization which proves capable of making the church a healthy, dynamic, and relevant community for all generations.
