Overview

Indigenous church leadership is a new phenomenon in North Africa. Until recently, non-Muslim background believers were the only leaders of churches in this region. With the current growth of national churches there are increasingly more leaders from a Muslim background leading to a diverse range of leadership styles. This publication, a first of its kind to specifically explore church leadership in North Africa, investigates common values, beliefs, and cultures among church leaders. Identifying four distinct leadership styles and examining them closely, the author looks to the impact they may have on congregations, society, and the future development of church leaders in the region.
