By Mike Glenn Most pastors, when they come into a new church, begin to try to understand the rhythm of the congregation. How does this church handle its budget? How do they make decisions and who are the gatekeepers of the congregation? How do they interact with their community? How do they plan worship services and do discipleship? What do they do at Christmas? At Easter? Figuring out how a church works usually takes about a year. The pastor has to go through everything once. Then, the pastor will work with the church’s leadership team to tweak the processes of their new church over the next year. For a lot of pastors, this will be considered a successful ministry.
Absolutely and thank you Mike
