This is a worthy ministry endeavoring to raise support and schedule meetings now. https://t.co/uCEq7021ze
@JordonWillard Focus on Bible college or seminary training & then find a skill that requires less training but brings in “good” money. You can then work more hours on the church & less on your job. (Photography, real-estate, IT). A call to ministry is a call to prepare. https://t.co/gfLBjyTcC1
@JordonWillard Ministry training is still paramount even in small churches. While you can learn/educate yourself, Bible college will help teach the essentials of ministry much more rapidly. But a bivocational pastor with a “lucrative skill” may be the best way to pastor small churches.
@lutherkent@erichoke Unfortunately you will have to do extensive research and prepare the curriculum for most courses. So 45 hours of teaching correlates into at least 150 hours for the first time teaching the course + grading. Still above minimum wage — so legal but ethical?
@AdamPage85 Even a strong one-year Bible program covering foundational Bible/theology (doctrine) & biblical worldview is a great step in preparing students to stand strong no matter what further education brings.
