Very interested to find out about the financial section.
I don’t believe in bi-vocational ministries. Bi-vocational ministries accommodate greedy preachers and stingy church members.
Paul resorted to tent-making as a side job and not for greedy purposes.
I had a number of churches that were either new church plants or reopening of churches that had died or been closed down. I never had a good salary and always had to work other jobs. One church that offered the best money was also the most controlling and the most resistant to growth. I was so glad to get away from being a professional Christian.
new church plants and reopened churches should be supported by the state office.
The church I was pastoring in Florida could not afford a pastors salary. Even the lowest salary. They fought me tooth and nail on growing.
Have run into ( 3 ) churches that had one or more who just didn’t want growth. They feared they would lose their power and yet the only power they had was the ability to prevent an increase.
it was a matter of not being able to support but of withholding that support.
I had a church with many faithful tithe payers. All of them on SSI. However 10 years ago they built a building they couldn’t afford.
