Beginning in the Parish
Submitted by pastordale on Mon, 2006-12-11 16:42. PracticalHere's a list of tips for a pastor's first year or so beginning at a new call, whether fresh from seminary or your 10th call. Everyone else chime in with your suggestions, making a running thread.read more »
- Start out with an every member visit: depending on the size of the congregation, this may take you a while, but it means a lot to people, and you'll get to know your sheep.
- Don't change anything the first year. Even false doctrine must be dealt with gently, or the congregation will likely just dig in their heels, and you'll have little success in changing hearts to reflect a forced change in practice.
- Remember that hymns familiar to you may not be familiar to this congregation.
