Abstract

The Church of Jesus Christ as the Ecclesia visibly represents the Kingdom of God on the earth, and its role includes the transformation of society with values, kingdom principles, and change Initiative principles. This doctoral project analyses the definition of the The church as the Ecclesia under the umbrella of the Kingdom of God and its Policies and the empowerment of the basic knowledge of all believers. It evaluates the strategies of organizational change and presents a five-year vision plan and its implementation of the Church of Pentecost worldwide to transform society with global impact.

The Bible refers to Christians as called out ones from darkness into God’s marvelous light and organized into the body of Christ-an organization-Ecclesia. As the called-out ones, the Church is also sent back to the world to serve as a transforming agent likened to the properties of salt. Some Christians lack this basic knowledge and therefore are limited in the execution of their roles as transforming agents. As the District Pastor of the Church, Harrisburg District, The U.S.A., I present to the congregation a 5-year vision plan that spells out the transforming role of Christians as transforming agents of every aspect of society through values and Kingdom principles. Also, thorough implementation framework that details the different functional ministries of the Church and the shared five-years vision plan to equip the Church and to transform society.
