I've never heard of so many larger churches being in pastoral transition at nice. Here is what I know. Anything else?Cooper City - Florida (Kevin Harris from Lawrenceville, GA)Oak Park - Alabama (David Smith from Monroe, GA)Lawrenceville - Georgia (Tracy Stone from Griffin, GA)Pathway - Alabama ( Voting this Sunday)Sumiton - Alabama (Voted on Bama man)Loxley - Alabama TBDMonroe - N Georgia TBDGriffin - N Georgia TBD

It seems that most larger churches keep their pastor unless the debt is so high the pastor is nearly killed by stress of raising the finances. I am sure there are exceptions, but the ones I know of, that seems to be the case. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Cojak,I don't think that is the case in most of these. A couple of these pastors retired and a couple of them moved into administration. That caused a trickle down effect.Cooper City - Pastor RetiredPlant City - Pastor is retiringOak Park - Pastor went out as an overseerSumiton - Pastor became mission repLoxley - Pastor passed awayLawrenceville - Pastor went to Cooper CityMonroe - Pastor went to Oak ParkGriffin - Pastor went to Lawrenceville

I heard Monroe has an almost unrealistic list for whoever comes to pastor. They have voted on two men from out of state and accepted neither

If the church is a 'large' church, Most folk know the Overseer will be ressed from above to place an overseer or admin who must vacate a position. I am sure this puts some stress on the overseer.I honestly like to see positions filled by men in the same state, where possible. Church council and church members of larger churches have realized they do have some say in who is to be their pastor, when they stick to their guns. I think that is only right. HOWEVER most exiting state overseers are good guys and will make excellent pastors. I did say MOST, because many of the contributors on this forum can point to cases where that was not the case.

Big shoes to fill, in my opinion. Yes. Joey took the church and built it up. David came in and built upon what Joey started. Both were/are dynamic preachers and Leaders who are among the top in the demonization

And I have just retired from pastoral ministry.I just know all my Actscelerate friends will be booking me for revivals...any day now.

Err, Starvin, methinks you must have had a misspelled worddemonization However, I should not be one to cast stones as my fingers are slower than my brain and spell check seems difficult on Acts. In either case, spell check wouldn't have caught this one. Sorry.

Yes denomination. By George we will have to sing the Church of God is right, twice, just to make up for that mistake
