    What to Do When the Interim Pastor Wants to Become the Pastor – Part 1 of 3: When a Church Is Looking for a Pastor Nov 11, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode, Kevin and Thom talk about the possible paths to take when an interim pastor decides he wants to be the pastor. They assume the church did not take a stand that the interim could not apply for the position.

    1. You might just need to say no.

    2. You could ask him to step down as interim pastor to apply for the position of pastor.

    3. You try to get the “why” behind this move.

    4. You could let him be a backup if the first round of candidates does not engender fruit.

    5. You could ask him to leave the church for making such an unwise request.

    Seven Updates on Pastoral Tenure after COVID Sep 23, 2021
    Show notes

    All other things being equal, longer pastoral tenure tends to enhance the health of a church. Kevin and Thom look at trends in pastoral tenure after COVID.

    1. Median pastoral tenure is up to five years.

    2. COVID extended pastoral tenure because few pastors left their churches during the pandemic.

    3. Boomers are retiring or stepping down in much greater numbers.

    4. Millennials are not seeking larger churches.

    5. Megachurch pastoral tenure is declining.

    6. Church closures will obviously affect tenure adversely.

    7. The move away from full-time paid pastors could affect tenure significantly.

    3. Use the time to show gratitude and love.
