Equipping And Motivating Rural Local Pastors For Ministry: A Call to Action Public

Abstract

The local pastor in the rural church wears many hats in their servant leadership roles. Many are also bivocational, balancing pastoring, school, family, self, and work. Therefore, they must be motivated to meet their educational requirements and clergy responsibilities. Local pastors cannot ensure that the church carries out the great commission without the proper training, tools, and resources. Many rural churches are in decline; pastors suffer burnout and lack confidence. This study aims to determine how a local pastor in the North Central District Rural Church Network acquires the tools and motivation they need to work effectively in ministry.
