Abstract: This study investigates the leadership disposition among Seventh-day Adventist youth in the Techiman South District of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ghana. Grounded in transformational and servant leadership theories, the research explores the strengths and challenges experienced by the youth in an urbanizing area, yet culturally very traditional. The study aims to identify factors influencing youth willingness to take up leadership roles, and to analyse challenges faced by youth in leadership positions. The study uses a quantitative research approach to collect data from 400 hundred youth in the Techiman South District. It captures real-world perspectives that highlight leadership gaps, spiritual challenges, and socio-cultural influences. Findings reveal a commitment to youth ministry but point to the need for targeted leadership development. Recommendations are made to enhance spiritual leadership, capacity building, and cultural competence, thus supporting the church’s broader mission objectives.
