Sure there are times when it is obvious that someone is not pulling their weight. The whole two year average stems from the fact that it takes people that long to begin to know and trust a leader enough really follow them. Jesus didn't pick the 'performers', he picked the guys who couldn't get to the next level in Jewish school, so they went back to the family business. <b>Is the church a Business/Corporation?</b> That said, <b>there is no formula for ministry</b>. You have to take who you are and how you worship and try to communicate that to some people. Which is cool, because there is a church out there that will fit just about anyone.

Is the church a Business/Corporation?

That said, there is no formula for ministry. You have to take who you are and how you worship and try to communicate that to some people. Which is cool, because there is a church out there that will fit just about anyone.

So do u keep someone in ministry and "Hope" they become effective? Isn't there a big problem if a pastor is not effective? In a corporation if an employee is not meeting the mark the are let go. So what do u mean? Vince I dont get ur comment. So do u keep someone in ministry and “Hope” they become effective? Isn’t there a big problem if a pastor is not effective?
