Church Leadership Structure and Spiritual Growth in the Anglican Church of Uganda: Case Study in South Ankole Diocese, Rukoni Archdeaconry
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-10-28) Esau Ninsiima
In the course of this research, "Church Leadership Structure and Spiritual Growth in the Anglican Church of Uganda a case of South Ankole Diocese, Rukoni Archdeaconry" was inspected and the aim was to measure the participation of youth and women in church matters, the challenges of the church leaders, and the ways to improve leadership and inclusiveness in the church. A mixed-methods technique was employed, and the researchers managed to get data from 171 individuals through the use of distributed questionnaires and interviews. Among the most significant outcomes were that the church has youth who are active participants to the extent of 30% and women are involved to 23%, while the main hindrances are lack of training (25%) and poor youth participation (22%). The research advocates for the increase of leadership training workshops (37%), the promotion of inclusive policies (backed by 72%), and the opening up of avenues for youth and women to be involved in the church through mentorship and resource support which, in turn, would lead to holistic spiritual growth and sustainable church development.
