This Brief Guide Shows Church Members How Vital—and Surprisingly Simple—It Is to Support Local Pastors
Though pastors are a tremendous blessing to the body of Christ, they are often the least encouraged in the church. As a result, many feel isolated, stressed, and tempted to leave ministry. How can church members better support the leaders who faithfully shepherd them?
In this short, practical guide, Camryn Zamora helps believers esteem the role of pastors as commanded in Scripture, recognize their role in supporting church leadership, and follow through with simple, intentional acts of service. Reflecting on the gift of pastors, Zamora points to God's word to demonstrate how church members can show appreciation, including praying for sermon preparation, actively listening each week, rebuking gossip, disagreeing constructively, and more. By empowering church members to protect and support pastors, local churches can help leaders serve joyfully for years to come.
