In most cases meetings are convened to deal with problems as they arise and do not cater for forward thinking. Due to the growth of the church, fostering success in the programs, conducting meetings regularly and procedurally is critical. Data was collected from church clerks, elders and board members using surveys, interviews and discussions. Literature was read and it helped to authenticate the practice. The Biblical and Spirit of Prophecy perspective motivated learning as it was interfaced with secular theories on leadership and meetings. Five key focus areas that reflect job descriptions of both clerks and elders were identified. An evaluation instrument relevant to East Zimbabwe Conference, and Mafara District in particular, was designed, pretested and made ready for application.Lastly an orientation and training process was recommended for the professional development of clerks, elders and board members at large in that they focus on procedures that are adhered to by professional officers as they conduct meetings.LeadershipChurch leaders | ZimbabweMafara districtThesis
