Technology, postmodern culture, and growing social apostasy present ministers with obstacles the American Evangelical church has never had to face. Evangelical practices and popular American culture have worked together to marginalize the Evangelical church and its message. Evangelical seminaries largely teach ministers from church and ministerial models created as long ago as the 1940s and 1950s. A gap exists between academic models and the culture and technology ministers engage in their work. Ministers need the technological, cultural, and social information necessary to impact the world of 2000 for Christ.
Ministers generally lack community.
This further weakens their voice. Ministers need community grounded in commonality, community to empower and support their efforts to change the world through preaching God s Word. The Minister's Professional Resource Group offers resources that directly impact Christian ministers' work in a postmodern culture. We also direct ministers to legal, financial, and nonprofit business resources. Generally, we do not offer purely devotional material as good devotional material may be found at most Christian sites.
