Abstract	This phenomenological study examined the spiritual experiences of Christian school leaders who are the spiritual leaders of their schools. A purposeful, nominated sample of 12 Christian school leaders was selected. In-depth, open-ended interviews were conducted, audio taped, and then transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was based on Rudestam and Newton's (2001) method of researcher description. Findings indicated participants believe that spiritual leadership is an active, personal process for each individual. They see the importance of relationships with others; exhibit personal growth; provide for needs and opportunities; promote personal and spiritual growth; have a personal relationship with God; exhibit humility; are real and accessible; and serve as mentor, encourager, and supporter of all the members of the community. Two appendixes present: (1) Descriptions of Participants; and (2) Interview. (As Provided).
