dc.description.abstractIn the realm of church leadership, succession planning facilitates the establishment of strong connections between leaders and their followers, ensuring a smooth transfer of leadership responsibilities and ultimately enhancing the performance and stability of evangelical churches. While various strategies exist for church leaders to bolster stability and growth among their congregants, the objective of this study was to establish the impact of leadership succession planning on the stability of Evangelical churches in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study used a sample of 60 of the targeted 300 evangelical churches in Nairobi. Data was collected using a questionnaire from a total of 360 leaders picked from the 60 churches using four leadership levels: Presiding Bishops/General Overseers, General Secretaries, Senior Pastors, and Senior Deacons. Descriptive statistics as well as regression modelling were used to achieve the objective. SPSS version 27 was used to carry out the data analysis. The results indicate that among the succession planning variables examined, including mentoring, talent management, employee retention, and career development, mentoring emerges as the predominant approach adopted by leaders in Evangelical Churches in Nairobi County. Moreover, the findings indicate that succession planning contributes significantly to church stability, accounting for over 18% of the overall stability. Consequently, the study recommends the integration of leadership and management practices through a holistic approach encompassing mentoring, talent management, career development, and employee retention strategies, complemented by tailored training programs.
