The aim of this research paper is to investigate how to do churchlyleadership nowadays? The paper also explores three subordinate questions.What kind of leadership in the Lutheran faith and in the Pentecostal Faiththere has been; How the societal, cultural, political, economic context affectchurch leadership; and Leadership in the church of Sweden and inPentecostal Faith today and tomorrow. To find the results of the researchpaper, I used only qualitative research method through hermeneutics. Theresults of this paper show that church leadership cannot adopt NPMbecause churchly leadership is totally different than production,effectiveness, optimization. Church leadership is a servant leadership wherelove and compassion are the foundation of church leadership. A goodleadership is when there is a good relationship between leader-followersbecause they both are the two sides of the same coin. The research paperanalyzes two church leaders to identify church leadership, Lewi Pethrus andErling Eidem. Church leadership has been discriminated, marginalized bythe societal, cultural, political, economic context where rationalism,individualism, secularism, globalization, technology, and mass consumptionaffected individuals to attend church and have religious experiences.Thepaper recommends that NPM is not a good option to perform spiritualleadership nowadays because these religious organization will be seen likeany other earthly organization. Church leadership in the Swedish Lutheranand Pentecostal church need to change so that these churches can survive aschurchly organizations in the future / nej
