Caring for Bivocational LeadersPaul was a tentmaker…he literally made tents to help support his ministry. Today, bivocational pastors carry on that tradition. Probably not by making tents, but by working in another job while, at the same time, taking on the role of pastor. Paul didn’t have a family, or many of our modern-day demands, so pastors who follow this bivocational model today have special needs and circumstances Paul never had to consider. We encourage you to read this recent article by John Brummitt, “The Tentmaker’s Toolbox—Caring for Bivocational Leaders,” to learn how churches with bivocational pastors can help support them!
