It is a high and holy calling to be entrusted with the care of souls, the flock of God. The pastoral task is all-encompassing and can be overwhelming at times. From phone calls in the middle of the night to the pressure of finances to the burden for souls in a spiritually starved community, the load can seem unbearable.
Having a trusted guide to come alongside and speak wisdom in critical moments is like a breath of fresh air. And that’s exactly what this book aims to do. The author shares from his extensive personal experience, offering practical insight and strategies on areas including:
· The pastor’s personal life
· Approaches to preaching and teaching
· Templates for baby dedications, weddings, funerals, and communion
· Pastoral leadership
· Church administration
· Building program survival
· Principles of church growth
With these topics and many more, this handbook will help you establish and enhance your pastoral ministry and fulfill the high call to feed God’s sheep.
