Bivocational Ministry
Pastoral Leadership

Man, come on. Who cares what the nattering nabobs of negativism say? Its just ignorance on display. The fact is, many people think any pastor is “part-time” — “You only work on Sunday, right?”

If this is the worst a guy has to deal with, he’s got it pretty good.

Maranatha!
