Journal Article
Leading together: Intergenerational church leadership through the C.H.A.I.N. model
2025
Overview
This article addresses the urgent need for sustainable intergenerational leadership within contemporary church contexts, particularly in Southeast Asia, where traditional hierarchical models often marginalise younger leaders. Drawing from the contrasting biblical narratives of Saul’s failed leadership transition and Moses’ successful mentorship of Joshua, the study develops a theologically grounded and contextually relevant framework for leadership succession. The proposed C.H.A.I.N. model: Calling, Honour, Alignment, Investment and Navigation, offers an integrative approach emphasising spiritual formation, mutual respect across generations, strategic coherence and Spirit-led transition. Employing qualitative theological research and narrative analysis, the article synthesises biblical insights with contemporary leadership theory to construct a model applicable to diverse ecclesial settings. The findings reveal that effective leadership regeneration is not merely organisational but deeply spiritual, requiring intentional mentoring, public affirmation and communal discernment. This article contributes a novel theological framework to guide churches in nurturing generational continuity, mission alignment and leadership resilience for the future.ContributionThis study offers a theologically grounded and contextually relevant model for intergenerational church leadership, bridging biblical narrative with practical ministry frameworks to support sustainable succession in diverse ecclesial contexts.
