Abstract

The author establishes a need to support new pastors. He asserts that new pastors are not supported in their first calls. He gathers information from a sample group of new pastors and identifies several key areas in which pastors feel underprepared or have anxiety as they begin their first calls. Using a qualitative research method the author spent time with over 25 pastors discovering their fears and where they find their support in ministry. After gathering this information he develops a plan for governing bodies to support new clergy and to equip the for success.
