Abstract: The study sought to explore the management of conflicts in Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches within the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana. 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 that the conflict management strategies adopted by Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches operating within the Cape Coast Metropolis were prayer alone, prayer and fasting, compromise, collaboration, arbitration, and avoidance or separation. The investigator concluded that elders, pastors and members of Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches within the Cape Coast Metropolis used a number of strategies to manage conflicts that occur amongst them. It is recommended that Pentecostal and Charismatic church elders should organise 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.
