How Ministry May Be Expressed The new work assignment has been given to Herman Williams, Consultant in the Continuing Education Department. The purpose of the new ministry is to improve the process by which the Georgia Baptist Convention assists and encourages Bivocational ministers and churches to realize their full potential as they serve God in the local community and around the world. Over 33 per cent of Baptist Pastors in Georgia are bivocational.
Studies show that the distribution of bivocational churches by location is changing.
Bivocational ministers have always played a significant role in the life of Georgia Baptist Churches and it is expected that their role will be increasingly important in reaching our nation for Christ. Include ethnic ministers in bivocational work. Provide a network to help connect bivcational ministers to ministry opportunities. Develop resources for bivocational ministers. If desired, help plan regional meetings across the state with bivocational ministers planning the program.
