How To Turn Group Leaders Into Church Pastors
Share

The real pastors of your church aren’t all on payroll.
They’re in living rooms, texting prayer updates, and leading spiritual conversations over pizza.

Your group leaders are your pastors.
So treat them - and train them - accordingly.

No, really, they’re the pastors. The ones whose voice the sheep know. The one who are in the fields day in and day out, not in C-suites planning the next egg drop or copying the next ATM series.

I’m not talking about the title - you don’t have to call them a pastor - but it’s what they do whether you like it or not. And whether you’ve trained them or not.
