Kepemimpinan gereja yang penuh Roh Kudus terhadap pertumbuhan gereja di era kontemporer
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Contemporary church leadership shows a shift from spirituality and commitment to the Word of God toward models oriented to popularity and institutional interests. This shift causes the Church to lose its spiritual essence and transformative power. Therefore, it is necessary to reexamine church leadership based on biblical principles, particularly the role of the Holy Spirit as the primary leader in Christ’s Church. This study aims to understand the concept and characteristics of Spirit-filled church leadership and its implications for contemporary church growth. Using a qualitative literature method, this research analyzes biblical and theological sources. The results show that Spirit-filled leadership is characterized by the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23), Christlike character, humility, wisdom, love, and courage in ministry. Such leadership builds an inclusive, transformative, and mission-centered church. Amid stagnation and secularization, Spirit-filled leadership is a divine calling that is relevant, realistic, and urgently needed.
Keywords: Church Leadership, Spirit-Filled, Fruit of the Spirit, Transformative Leadership
Abstrak
Kepemimpinan gereja masa kini menunjukkan pergeseran dari spiritualitas dan komitmen terhadap Firman Tuhan menuju model yang berorientasi pada popularitas dan institusional. Pergeseran ini membuat gereja kehilangan esensi rohani dan daya transformasinya. Karena itu, perlu ditinjau kembali kepemimpinan gereja berdasarkan prinsip Alkitabiah, khususnya peran Roh Kudus sebagai pemimpin utama dalam gereja Kristus. Penelitian ini bertujuan memahami konsep dan karakteristik kepemimpinan gereja yang penuh Roh Kudus serta implikasinya terhadap pertumbuhan gereja masa kini. Menggunakan metode kualitatif kepustakaan, penelitian ini menelaah sumber Alkitab dan literatur teologi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan penuh Roh Kudus ditandai oleh buah Roh (Galatia 5:22–23), karakter Kristus, kerendahan hati, hikmat, kasih, dan keberanian dalam pelayanan. Kepemimpinan ini membangun gereja yang inklusif, transformatif, dan berpusat pada misi Allah. Di tengah stagnasi dan sekularisasi, kepemimpinan yang penuh Roh Kudus merupakan panggilan ilahi yang relevan, realistis, dan mendesak.
