'Is it possible to discover processes, formal or informal, used by effective ministers in their early years of ministry in a congregation that can be named, understood and shared to help other ministers understand their contexts?' The research methodology was a qualitative study of two ministers in the Presbyterian Church in Canada, one a recent graduate and the other a recent immigrant. The study concluded that three factors are key: the understanding that the ministers and the congregation are a part of one body, a self-differentiated minister, and a willingness to guide the faith community somewhere.
