Serving as a Bivocational Pastor

Book excerpt: This book is written to be helpful to ministers who are serving as a bivocational pastor or are considering that ministry role. This is not an exhausting study of the role, but a conversation with you about the key functions and challenges of the bivocational pastor. In my experiences of being a pastor, consultant, personal counselor and friend of pastors, I understand the delights and difficulties of ministry. In my current roles of bivocational pastor and fundraising among churches for a statewide ministry, I understand the challenges that bivocational pastors face and want to share with you a down to earth conversation from my experience and perspective.
