Description

"When are you going to become a real pastor" "When are you going to get your own church" "How long will you be here" During his thirty-one years serving in churches across the country, Doug Fagerstrom has both known the joys of being a ministry staff member and experienced many misconceptions of the role. In "The Ministry Staff Member", he draws on his vast experience to correct false notions and provide a clear, accurate understanding. This comprehensive and practical handbook provides staff members - paid and volunteer, church and parachurch - with invaluable tools for success and helps those around them to better understand and appreciate the importance of what they do. Dozens of sidebar articles and suggested resource lists provide a useful toolbox you'll want to turn to again and again.
