This qualitative, multiple case study was concerned with the best practice of
shared leadership in a ministry context. Four specific churches were considered for this
study between September and November 2014. Data was gathered from the four churches
through online questionnaires administered to leaders, on site interviews with leaders and
staff, published material from each church, notes documented while observing, sermons
on shared leadership, training materials, bylaws, and other pamphlets or material to
discover and isolate the number of occurrences of the established best practices, as well
as possible unique best practices in each ministry context. The top three highest
occurrences of established best practices in a ministry context were spiritual giftedness,
relational support, and biblical shared leadership. Unique best practices were discovered
and isolated as well. It is hopeful this study will assist leaders and others interested in the
best practices of biblical shared leadership.
