Abstract
Abstract:The study sought to investigate the effectiveness of leadership roles of clergy wives in church growth in Nakuru, Kenya. In the ACK Diocese of Nakuru today, clergy wives have retreated from the leadership responsibility provided by the policy guidelines. Retreating from this responsibility is affecting church growth. The study was conducted in ACK Diocese Nakuru with a sample size of 32 respondents. Descriptive survey research design that embraced stratified sampling procedures was adopted. The research used closed-ended questionnaires, which were administered to the respondents selected from the population. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the study findings while correlation and Chi-square tests were used verify the relationship between the study variables. The study found out that the clergy wives play various leadership roles in their church that comprises of teaching, evangelism, heading various women missions, involvement in the choir, praise and worship, Mothers Union among others. The church was found to be growing in terms of offering and tithing, spiritual maturity, church activities and size of the congregation. However, the contribution of clergy wives was found not to have significant effects on the church growth. The study recommends that the clergy wives should be more diligent and dedicated when they offer themselves as leaders in their church. Keywords:Clergy Wives, Church Growth.
