Pastoral Sustainability
Why do some pastors serve for decades while others burn out after a short while? Pastoral sustainability is a major challenge in our churches—a recent survey revealed that ministry dropout is directly linked to burnout, unrealistic expectations, and conflict.
MinistryLift partnered with the BC Conference of MB Churches in October 2018 and invited Keith Mitchell (Morling College) to help pastors identify the pitfalls they face in ministry and equip them with steps they can take to keep themselves healthy for the long-haul.
