Today after our church service, the leadership council had a brief meeting, in which I was pleasantly surprised to be given the full-time senior pastor position, retroactive to July 1st. I have been doing the job on a very part-time (10-15 hours/week) basis for the last four years.
WOOHOO!

Nice one Scott. Keep up the good work and good luck. I hope it does not mean you will do less magic though.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Good luck with your pastorization. You'd think that what with pastorization the congregation would be known as a herd rather than a flock.

Scott
Please excuse my ignorance, but are you an ordained minister, or does your church elect a good member of the church as an appointed leader?

It is a job Al, good pay and bennies too. There are some churches that have unpaid lay ministry but those guys are not pastors. There are a lot of ordained ministers out there hoping to find a church to lead.
I am also ordained and am a minister. |

Santa
Not all churches are prosperous, I have a friend who is the pastor of a Lutheran church, and he just got a part time job to make ends meet.
