After reading it, I began to wonder about a possible related problem churches may have in hiring a bi-vocational minister. I imagine that some churches can't find someone due to the pastor not being able to find a second job, especially in this economy. Has any research been done on this?Pastor Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-67037269865287010202011-03-11T14:17:13.612-05:002011-03-11T14:17:13.612-05:00Very good and insightful thoughts concerning bi-vo...Very good and insightful thoughts concerning bi-vocational ministry. I have pretty much lost my second income from substituting at our local High School because they have a budget shortfall this year. Therefore, they haven't used subs as much this year. So, not only is the need for bi-vocational ministry becoming greater, but the job market for them is reducing rapidly. I know of folks that have been looking for work for months now and most places are not hiring because of the economic down turn. This puts even more strain on the Pastor and his family. It is time for churches to teach again on financial stewardship and the commands from the Lord in Scripture to take care of their Pastor. I Cor. 9:14 and so forth speak to this issue. Praise the Lord that He is sovereignly in charge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-26893699168550497082011-03-11T12:29:36.889-05:002011-03-11T12:29:36.889-05:00Having served in bivocational ministry, I complete...Having served in bivocational ministry, I completely agree with Dr. Dorsett's views. It is impossible to fuction as a bivocational pastor without the help of fellow servants. It takes time to develop these leadership teams, and it takes a humbling of self as well. I've known some pastors who, for pride's sake, would not give up any responsibilities to members of the congregation because they feared the loss of control or diminished praise. I've put Dr. Dorsett's book to practice and I can tell you that it works--if you'll be patient with your people. It takes time for the congregation to come around as well.
