The future of the Worldwide Church of God is bright. It is bright because God is showing us that every member of the Body is important and that God has a meaningful part for each one to play in the work of his kingdom. God is showing us that pastors are like player-coaches, whose primary role is to sound the positive trumpet blast of hope and faith while they train and equip leaders who can, in turn, train and equip others for works of service. Pastors are the people who believe in the spiritual future of their congregations, regardless of numbers. Pastors are the people who are genuinely committed to being remade by God from the inside out, so they can inspire their congregations to faith in our Savior and Lord and to active service in God's army of love.
Pastoral leadership is essential to the spiritual health of every congregation.
That's why we take pastoral selection and training so seriously. Whether your pastor is salaried or nonsalaried, headquarters is committed to helping your congregation have the best pastoral care possible.
