Ministers, local churches, and denominations are confronted by a dilemma. Parish ministers leave pastorates (and even the ministry) due to burnout, its symptoms, and other factors. High pastoral turnover rates are counterproductive to local church effectiveness. This qualitative study used a researcher-designed, semi-structured interview to gather data from thirty United States Nazarene pastors to comment on a presumed positive connection between sabbaticals, reduced burnout symptoms, and increased tenure The study finds that Nazarene pastor sabbaticals have a positive reactive and preventative impact on ministry tenure and the pastor's ability to manage burnout symptoms. Sabbaticals typically lengthen local parish tenure but occasionally help pastors prepare spiritually for a new ministry assignment. Additional findings include seven components of an effective sabbatical.
