Believe it or not, it is highly unlikely your seminary prepared you to lead a church larger than 150. It’s a fact that most small and mid sized church pastors are ill-equipped for the leadership shifts necessary to lead a church of even 250. This week Drs. Kris and Bill explore what it takes to effectively lead a larger church and how leaders of large churches can prepare to lead even larger churches. The episode includes information from Bill T-B and Bill Easum’s Effective Staffing for Vital Churches.
If you’re on a search committee or if you’ve been charged with helping find your church’s next pastor, this episode is for you.

But how do you get below the surface to find the pastor your church really needs? In this episode, Drs. Kris and Bill de-mystify the call process and provide insights to help you move past dating to seriously discovering the leader God’s set aside for your congregation.
