Dissertation note: Thesis Columbia International University Seminary and School of Missions 2013. Subject: This study involves Greater Houston Bible Church Association (GHNCA) churches and two other churches outside the greater Houston area, Hill Country Bible Church in Austin, Texas and Grace Bible Church of College Station, Texas. They will be known as WisconsinLD churches (with intentional leadership development). Five other churches that did not believe there was intentional leadership development at their church also were included in this study. These churches will be known as NILD (no intentional leadership development). The research is a comparative analysis of the theological processes of leadership development in 1-2 Timothy with more than ten leadership development books that have been read by pastors in the GHBCA. After a year of meditating and studying in the biblical text of 1-2 Timothy, reading secondary literature on leadership development, and engaging pastors through a list of standardized questions, this researcher had many takeaways including: 1) Nearly all of the literature focused on leadership development of elder boards, staff teams, and emerging leaders. 2) Certain leadership development strategies like the importance of godly character were a constant theme in the Pauline literature as well as the secondary literature. 3) Paul thought reproducing himself into Timothy was a strategic idea. 4) Although many experienced a sense of having a long way to go in the area of leadership development, it seemed all were motivated to strengthen this area in their church. 5) In some cases, there was no big difference between NILD churches and WisconsinLD churches. 6) The clearest indication for a strong leadership developed church appears with the data surrounding the tenure of the senior pastor. 7) One chapter contains some strategic ideas from the WisconsinLD churches and Hill Country and Grace Bible churches to implement in their own leadership development ministries.

Five other churches that did not believe there was intentional leadership development at their church also were included in this study. These churches will be known as NILD (no intentional leadership development). The research is a comparative analysis of the theological processes of leadership development in 1-2 Timothy with more than ten leadership development books that have been read by pastors in the GHBCA.
