Inside the World of Executive Pastors: Leadership Network's 2009 Survey By Colleen Pepper
Cost: Free Download
Executive pastors (also known as director, chief of staff, or church administrator) face unique struggles and challenges, often filling a role at the church's most strategic level.
What does a "typical" week look like for an executive pastor? How does their role change with their church's size? What factors help them most in having a successful relationship with the senior pastor and with other staff? Where do they struggle most?
These and other findings come from a survey conducted in January 2009, which drew responses from 555 executive pastors serving in congregations where weekly attendance ranges from 100 to 23,000.
