When Should I Move from a Full-time Pastor to Bivocational or Covocational Pastor?

Thom S Rainer, Video,

Description

This video helps congregational leaders explore when a leader’s role should move from a full-time model to a part-time model. The Church Answers Podcast host Thom Ranier believes that full- or part-time models reflect a pastor’s compensation, not their hours, because even part-time pastors are on call throughout the day and night.

Rainier explores three reasons a congregational leader might take a second job: basic financial needs, a desire to be less financially dependent on a congregation for income, and the evangelical opportunities of working with people in the secular marketplace.
