Abstract
The church’s growth rate is simply not keeping pace with world’s burgeoning population, especially in East and West Sub-counties of Nakuru County. An honest evaluation of church membership verses the population of the area will lead one to conclude that unless there is a dramatic change in the way the church is growing, then the church will not complete Heaven’s assignment. This study examined levels of role and responsibility coordination among pastors and church elders in the SDA church. The researcher employed descriptive research designs with both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The results indicated that believers indeed had spiritual challenges that hindered the church to grow. It was found out that with commitment and education in the word of God members have the potential to reach the masses with the word of God. The researcher conducted a survey to determine the challenges facing spiritual growth and development in this locality. This was to help discover the challenges and strategize on ways that the church can use to grow. It was meant also to help the church leadership address those issues that will make the church stagnant without fulfilling its mission. The study concluded that nomination process was not transparent since some posts were reserved for specific persons; it was found that such exercise was influenced negatively by the leadership. The findings also ascertained that church elders and pastors imposed persons of their choice in specific posts and influencing the election process. The leaders of the churches in this locality will need to work together with the laity in addressing the spiritual challenges. When they work together results will be a spiritual people and a church ready to fulfill God’s mission. The spiritual leaders need to take a front lead.
