Many bivocational pastors have little or no formal theological training. Bivocational ministry is looked at by some as a "second-class" ministry performed by people who do not have the opportunity to serve a larger church. Along with your family and church responsibilities, your second job also requires a large amount of time each week.

You'll learn how to:- Manage time wisely- Define success on your own terms- Develop a vision for your church- Maintain a passion for the ministry- And much more!
