The purpose of this study was to determine how the influence of the leadership of the Tongkonan on the Tallunglipu Congregation. In collecting data in the field, a qualitative research method was carried out by conducting interviews with leaders of the Tongkonan, members of the Tallunglipu Congregation, and the Tallunglipu community, namely through questions relating to the topic of problems discussed by researchers. Tongkonan leadership is a process of leader activities (To parengge ’) to be responsible for the welfare and sustainability of Tongkonan and to run all the guidance of Aluk sola Pemali (umpasundun aluk). Tongkonan leadership has a philosophy of "Tallu Bakaa", namely: manarang na kinaa (smart and wise), sugi ’na barani (rich and brave), na bida or bija (aristocratic descendants). These three things must be possessed by children tongkonan. Tongkonan children are bida (bija). Thus, the absolute requirement in the leadership of the Toraja community is "Tallu Baka". The mutual interaction between the leadership of the Tongkonan and the leadership of the Church should go well, be an example and a place of fellowship that maintains harmony and prosperity.
