| Are we who make up the denomination?Kevin Wallace is the latest large, big, mega, popular pastor and church to leave the CoG.I was just wondering, how many small, mediocre, little, unknown pastors and churches have to close to gain the attention of one mega church and pastor? |

| Know of two different situations concerning two different pastors in two different states under two different AB's where the churches ran less than 75. One was asked to leave the church, the other was told to close the church. Why? Both had asked their respective state offices for financial help in paying the utility bills. Both of these pastors were paying most of the churches bills themselves. After these pastors left their churches, the SO ended up paying the bills of the churches after all. One is now pastoring an independent church, doing better than the church that he was asked to leave and the other is sitting in a pew wondering if he will ever pastor again. |

| I'm not sure they 'care more' for the mega church than the small, but the mega church problems sure gets their attention.It is for sure they will need a pastor to follow that has the heart for that work and KNOWS how to assume leadership, in my opinion that is the key.I do hope a lot of prayer for guidance in the selection WORKS!About overseers and ALL size churches. i had a friend as a SO has a list of the pastors & phone #'s and made it a mission to call each one AT LEAST once a year. In my short time I only had an over seer call me to see if I wanted to move to a church that was open. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |
