Download Next: Pastoral Succession That Works AudioBook Free
Every chapel and ministry undergoes changes in management, and the problem is much bigger than the influx of pastors from the baby boomer generation who are moving toward old age. When a pastor leaves a chapel, ministries are disrupted, and participants drift away. In the event the church is already struggling, it will get itself suddenly in very dire straits indeed. But the outcome does not have to be because of this. What if whenever a pastor moved on, the church understood precisely what to do to find a suitable replacement just because a plan and an activity had been set up for some time? While there is no simple, one-size-fits-all answer to the puzzle of planning for a seamless pastoral succession, Next offers chapel market leaders and pastors a guide to asking the right questions to be able to arrange for the future. Vanderbloemen, creator of a respected pastoral search organization, and Parrot, an award-winning article writer and researcher, share insider reports of succession successes and failures in dozens of churches, including a few of the nation's most influential. Through circumstance studies, interviews, and real-time research, the authors demystify successful pastoral succession and help listeners plan an even brighter future for his or her ministries.
