Abstract: Leadership development and succession planning within the Church movements is critical to its survival in the long run. Not Christianity as a religion, but the institutions mandated to propagate it. Despite this importance, the pattern of leadership development and succession observed globally in most Evangelical churches has been characterized as dynastic succession. This study sought to evaluate the leadership development strategies, with an emphasis on Coaching and Mentoring, and their effect on succession in Evangelical churches. The study focused on a case of evangelical churches in Kenya.
