Pastors Are People Too - Paperback

by Alan L. Newlove (Author)

Every dynamic church has a strong partnership between the pastor and the active members of the congregation. A necessary ingredient for this partnership is a deep understanding and appreciation of pastoral ministry. What motivates your pastor? What are a pastor's responsibilities? What support does your pastor need? How does one discern a call to pastoral ministry and what does that mean? Pastors Are People Too addresses the topics of family, money, teamwork, responsibilities and authority, and more - all the while acknowledging and addressing a pastor's humanness - to provide a basis for building healthy, dynamic churches
