Freeing up funds that would go to a full-time salary sure would help the budget--maybe even enough to turn things around--but is it even possible to run effective ministries with just a half- or quarter-time professional? Journalist and part-time pastor Jeffrey MacDonald says yes--churches can grow more vibrant than ever, tapping into latent energy and undiscovered gifts, revitalizing worship, and engaging in more effective ministry with the community. Readers get a much-needed playbook for helping congregations to thrive with a part-time ministry model. They learn to see the model in a new light: to stop viewing part-time as a problem to be eradicated and to instead embrace it as a divine gift that facilitates a higher level of lay engagement, responsibility, playfulness, and creativity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Perhaps ecclesial institutions, churches, and clergy will now begin to imagine a new way forward where part-time really is plenty for all parties, rather than face death. I hope so, because this is the first book I've read in a long time that's made me excited about the possibilities ministry has to offer me, the church, and the world. --<em>The Christian Century</em></p><br>
