Table of contents
An ordained elder or licensed minister elder track may be called to pastor a church by two-thirds favorable vote by ballot of the church members of voting age present and voting at a properly called annual or special meeting of the church, provided that:. This call shall be subject to review and continuance as hereinafter provided. Acceptance of a call to pastoral relations shall be given by the minister not later than 15 days from the date of the church meeting voting the call. The church board and the pastor should clearly communicate their goals and expectations to each other in writing.
As soon as practical after a pastor begins serving, the pastor and the congregation may participate in an installation or bonding service. The objective of the service should be to celebrate unity and direction concerning the will of God. Where practical, the district superintendent shall preside.
Section: Calling of a Pastor
Upon issuing a call , the local church will specify the proposed remuneration. The amount of this remuneration shall be determined by the church board. The remuneration of the pastor shall commence on the Monday preceding the first official Sunday of service to the local church.
Local churches may consider alternative plans for pastoral support in cooperation with their respective districts. Affirming the value of family and the importance of pastors modeling peaceful and integrated lives, local churches should consider providing a maternity or paternity leave for the pastor and associates.

District superintendents should encourage local churches to adopt maternity or paternity leave policies and provide for their development. Instead of treating prayer as something that is always spontaneous and unprepared, Hughes challenges pastors to prepare their public prayers and provides samples of different types of prayers.
The pastoral counseling section, spanning 57 pages and authored by Robert E. Evans, is saturated with biblical wisdom and practical advice. His view of pastoral counseling might be characterized as discipleship intensely focused on a particular or neglected area: Especially beneficial were the sections on handling emergency situations and when to make a referral. A helpful addition would be to advise on how to navigate the potential legal situations entailed when counseling about issues such as homosexuality and transgenderism.
This chapter is a great introduction to pastoral counseling and should serve as an impetus for further reading and training. The brief section on hospital visitation outlines some principles and provides a catalogue of Scriptures relevant for this role. I wish I would have read this book in my first month of ministry, and I am glad that I have read it now that I am several years into ministry. If I must offer some critique, there are some aspects of congregational life that are absent from this book.
In the preface, the contributors note that some topics were omitted for the sake of brevity. But nothing is mentioned concerning the membership of the church which often figures perhaps even ought to figure into the Sunday morning congregational gatherings. I felt an imbalance as 25 pages were devoted to the incorporation of poetry into a service and nothing was mentioned about a membership covenant.

Moreover, a helpful addition would be to include some guidance concerning how to conduct a church meeting dealing with church discipline. Also it would have been helpful to have some guidance about the incorporation of church offices, such as especially lay elders and deacons, into the services of the church.

Many churches also conduct ordination services, but instructions concerning this congregational service are also absent. My small quibbles about omissions should not overshadow my overwhelming praise for this wonderful handbook.
No Account?
The inclusion of sample services from several denominations gives the reader an insight into how other evangelical churches structure services. Each of the sections begins with a biblical-theological framework for the topic and then proceeds to offer helpful, practical, pastoral advice. I appreciate how the entire book is saturated with a compassionate pastoral heart.
