Abstract: This study sought to as certain the differences in conflict management strategies between Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches within the Cape Coast Metropolis. Responses from 128 church members, including pastors and elders in 16 Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches within the Cape Coast Metropolis were analysed. Questionnaires were applied. Research approach was quantitative, research design was descriptive. Frequencies and percentages were used to analyse the data. The investigator found no significant difference in conflict management strategies between Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches within the Cape Coast Metropolis. The researcher concluded that conflict management strategies employed by Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches within the Cape Coast Metropolis are similar. However, both denominations are deficient and need to be adequately equipped in dealing with conflict. It is recommended that Pentecostal and Charismatic churches leaders should learn to share their experiences and conflict resolution mechanisms with each other so that important lessons can be learnt for the future well-being of their churches and church members, as a whole.e seminars to educate church members and pastors on the management conflicts. These seminars should be initiated by the church headquarters at least every quarter of the year.
