The development of management skills for effective church management

This book focuses on the development of management skills for effective church management in pastoral preparation programs. It identifies the management challenges faced by the pastors, explores the extent to which management skills are being developed in pastoral preparation programs, and looks into alternative management practices which could be adopted into the Church for ministry effectiveness. The author argues that the church is both an organization and a spiritual entity which can only be effectively managed by well balanced pastors who are equipped with spiritual and management skills. The book concludes with recommendations on different ways in which pastoral preparation programs can be more involved in producing effective pastors with sharpened management skills for effective church management.
