Perubahan sosial yang cepat menuntut gereja mempertahankan identitas teologis sekaligus mengembangkan kemampuan beradaptasi terhadap dinamika pelayanan dan organisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis karakteristik kepemimpinan Kristen adaptif, kontribusinya terhadap resiliensi organisasi gereja, serta faktor yang mendukung dan menghambat proses adaptasi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis kajian literatur dengan penelusuran, seleksi, dan sintesis literatur relevan, disertai eksegesis gramatikal terhadap teks Alkitab yang berkaitan dengan kepemimpinan, transformasi, dan pemberdayaan komunitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan Kristen adaptif ditandai oleh discernment, fleksibilitas strategi, pembelajaran, komunikasi, kolaborasi, pelayanan, dan pemberdayaan jemaat. Kepemimpinan tersebut memperkuat resiliensi melalui kemampuan mengantisipasi tekanan, mempertahankan pelayanan, menyesuaikan strategi, dan mendistribusikan kapasitas organisasi. Budaya pembelajaran, partisipasi, dan teknologi mendukung adaptasi, sedangkan kekakuan struktur, resistensi, dan keterbatasan sumber daya menghambatnya. Penelitian ini menawarkan kerangka konseptual discernment–pelayanan–pemberdayaan–adaptasi–resiliensi sebagai dasar pengembangan kepemimpinan gereja yang kontekstual, tangguh, dan tetap setia pada misi dalam menghadapi perubahan sosial dengan praktik pelayanan yang reflektif, partisipatif, adaptif, dan bertanggung jawab.
