Key Takeaways

1) The dynamic of pastoring in the rural setting has some unique challenges. One of the most significant challenges is developing trust with a congregation if you are an “outsider” from another area.

2) It is becoming apparent that many churches will need to develop a financial strategy that includes income from sources beyond contributions from their membership. 

3) Ministry in the coming decade will require a renewed authenticity in providing ministry. The shift has moved from “observing” a service each week to “participating” in it.

4) Bi-vocational pastoral leadership is a healthy way for pastors to approach the paradigm shift that is currently underway.
