Abstract
One of the crucial issues that have marred leadership in the Church today is the inability
of the Pastors to communicate effectively with Church members at various levels. Good
communication is the key to sound organizational practice and successful group
relationship. Leaders are expected to give accurate and clear information to their
followers. The leadership is to provide clear, accurate facts and figures so that their
followers can effectively complete their tasks. Existing studies on communication in the
Church have not considered holistically Jesus’ methods of communication. This
researcher examines holistically Jesus’ methods of Communication and their
Implications for Pastors in Nigeria. The study adopted historical and descriptive
approaches and uses relevant literature on the subject matter. The research reveals that
methods used by Jesus were not strange to his audience. Jesus’ audience had a good
understanding of what he was trying to communicate to them because he spoke in clear
terms and in the language they understood. Nigeria is in need of leaders that will
holistically adopt Jesus’ methods of communication so that divine mandate on the
Church can be realized.
