Serving as a pastor requires a constant upgrading of skills and knowledge because our environment is continuously changing.
Old practices sometimes lose their effectiveness and relevancy. Developing effective practices takes creativity, experimentation, research, resulting in lots of failed attempts and a few successes.
The task would be impossible if each of us were alone. Fortunately, as all pastors hone their pastoral arts, best practices continually emerge.
NAD Ministerial Association seeks to aggregate the continuing flow of pastoral knowledge and excellence in the Best Practices family of email newsletters. Subscribe now to the newsletters of your choice and begin to refresh your best practices for Ministry.
If you are a practitioner who has new insights on ministry, please contact the editor of the newsletters or host of the podcasts, and share your best practice of ministry to your colleagues.
