Healthy Pastor & Healthy Leaders = Healthy Body

Exodus 17:8-16 How does your garden grow? If you plant the best seeds but don't water them, will they produce? If you water and weed, but don't fight bugs and birds, will you have a bountiful harvest? How's your sports team doing? If you have the best players, but no coaching, practice, or team chemistry, will you win? If you're a baseball team with great hitting but terrible pitching, will you succeed? Producing a healthy garden or a successful team requires a variety of healthy components and practices. How is a healthy congregation formed? Congregations face unsettling seasons (as KGF has over the years), or times of renewal and wondering what's next (as we are). A healthy congregation depends on healthy church leadership, and healthy church leadership depends on the components and practices of a healthy congregation. To know Jesus and make Him known, it's crucial we learn about the realities of pastoral ministry and church leadership, and proactively invest in their health and well-being. How can church leaders be in partnership with the whole body, leading to their and our success? Join us this Sunday as Bob Armstrong, Executive Director of Oasis Ministries, brings decades of experience in supporting the development of healthy pastors and congregations. We will explore the realities of pastoral ministry and how we as a body can be a healthy congregation with healthy leaders. Phil Wagler, Interim Pastor
