Bi-vocational Ministry Pros and Cons

Wednesday, November 7, 2:00 - 3:30 PM EST

As the costs associated with just about everything continue to rise, launching a church planting ministry is no exception. Some have begun to explore a “new/old” idea of “bi-vocational” ministry, meaning the church planter is actually employed elsewhere and plants the church in addition to a full time or part time job that provides for his family’s basic needs, freeing up funds for ministry growth. Ted Powers, MNA Church Planting Coordinator, will explore the pros and cons of this approach, it’s effect on the church plant and the new congregation, and situations for which it might be suited.
