    Enhancing Sabbath Worship Experience: A Case Study of Pastoral Leadership among Sea-View Seventh-day Adventist Members in Ghana
    (Adventist University of Africa, 2024-04) Brefo, Eric Atakorah
    The research investigates how pastoral leadership enhances Sabbath worship at Sea-View Seventh-day Adventist in Ghana, addressing the challenge of cultural relevance alongside spiritual enrichment. A key theme emerged through qualitative interviews with two pastors and one elder, revealing the importance of incorporating cultural elements, fostering community engagement, and addressing economic challenges within the worship context. The decision to interview two pastors and one elder was strategic and aimed at ensuring a comprehensive perspective on pastoral leadership within the community while adhering to the principle of data saturation. Data saturation was achieved through these interviews, capturing various perspectives and experiences relevant to the research questions. Pastoral leaders play a pivotal role in navigating these complexities, shaping worship experiences, and fostering community cohesion. The study emphasizes the need for adaptive pastoral strategies that respect cultural contexts while upholding spiritual integrity. By identifying these key themes, the research contributes to understanding practical pastoral approaches in culturally diverse settings, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of worship enhancement within Ghana's Sea-View Seventh-day Adventist community.
