Abstract
There are many Myanmar churches in the USA, and many of them are based on their ethnicities. Since many are working classes, some church members have difficulty attending church worship services and participating in other church activities. This negatively impacts the Gospel Baptist Church of America (GBCA) church's mission, vision, and goals to implement them every year. The leadership team and their management skills at Gospel Baptist Church must address and find solutions for the issues so that members cannot perform their character as followers of Jesus Christ in the church. This praxis program helps the author implement the management training program for leaders, find problems and concerns among church members, and propose the inputs for the issue at Gospel Baptist Church. By using Fayol's Unity of direction principle, the outcomes of this proposal goals are (1) increase church leaders’ confidence, self-esteem, and team spirit and improve their mastery of leadership management skills, (2) increase weekly church members' and new visitors' attendance in worship services and church activities, and (3) govern an obedient church member and demonstrate the success and impact of the Church's mission and vision.
