The first two years in a new pastorate are critical years. This manual will help guide you to start well.

Starting Well Manual

Pastor Self Care
Without question, one of the most important factors in sustaining healthy churches is to develop, care for ,and sustain pastors that are healthy spiritually, emotionally, socially, and professionally. This serves the church and the pastor in the calling to help build the Kingdom of God in their place and in their time. Use this valuable assessment to help you in your journey.

Church Policy & Facility Use Resources
The action of the Supreme Court of the United States on June 26, 2015, validating same-sex marriage in the United States, has caused church leaders to examine various church policies, including but not limited to, wedding policies, use of facilities policies and personnel policies . To assist churches as they navigate this issue, the following document is provided for distribution to pastors and church leaders.

Pastor Search Committees
We will assist churches in securing supply speakers, interim pastors, and other staff personnel upon request. Pastoral transitions can be difficult and stressful. The State Convention has resources to help. Additionally, Kelton, our Associational Missionary, is available to meet with your church to assist in the journey of selecting a new pastor. Please call him to schedule a time to come and share how we can help during your transition and selection process.

*Ministers willing to serve in an interim capacity may contact us to be added to our list of contacts to be called when the need arises.

Here are a few items to help guide you along the way:
