| Σύνοψη: | The church remains a solid center for transformational leadership, bringing the required light to today's increasingly troubled world. Therefore, this study's objective was to establish the mediating effect of transformational leadership traits on the relationship between pastors' training and church congregational health in urban churches of the African Gospel Church, Kenya (AGC-K). The study adopted a descriptive survey design and correlation methods targeting 44 pastors, 44 LCC members, and 383 members in urban churches of AGC-K. Data was collected using pretested questionnaires and was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed that while not all pastors manifested transformational leadership traits in their service, transformational leadership traits significantly, but partially, mediated the relationship between pastors' training and church congregation health. This could also explain why some of the congregations were exemplary in performance compared to others. Therefore, the study recommends that AGC-K encourage pastors and other church leaders to subscribe to transformational leadership training. Furthermore, transformational leaders within their congregations should also be encouraged to take some other leaders under their tutelage. |
