Is your congregation considering a part-time pastor? Are you considering a career in ministry alongside a secular job? Lancaster Seminary's coming course on bivocational ministry is appropriate for lay leaders and clergy alike.
The course will explore what it means to be bivocational in ministry. A focus will be the example of Paul as tentmaker and discuss challenges facing the church today. Students taking this class for CEUs will develop a covenant of expectations between congregation and pastor for successful ministry in a changing world.

Stephens, Wednesday nights, 7–8:30pm, May 26–June 30, via Zoom. Dr. Stephens is a United Methodist ordained deacon who heads United Methodist studies at Lancaster seminary.
