AB - This paper stresses the point that leadership and counseling, which play important role in pastoral ministry, are complementary to each other in many ways. When we learn how to best use these interdependant aspects,it will be helpful for congregation’s maturity and faith communities. To demonstrate this point, we try to examine the useful aspects of the approach based on counseling theory and practice to pastoral leadership from the Christian point of view. First, the outcome of some changes of general leadership theories in recent history and the main concept of Christian leadership emphasize on the leader’s role of caring and guiding for followers. Appling some methodologies of counseling and caring, the biblical naturel and function of Christian servant leadership will be well embodied in the faith community. Second, when we define leadership as “influence through relationship,” leaders need to study and practice the theories of human motivation, traits, and relationship techniques in counseling. Third, some types of leadership can be applied to leaders of group counseling, and coaching and mentoring among leadership theories can be also utilized for Christian counseling. Fourth, leaders can take advantage of the counseling services for their spiritual maturity and mental health.
