The start of any ministry is a stressful time, but it is especially so as a new minister enters an established congregation. The congregation has a history and character that must be appreciated if the new minister is to be integrated fully into its life. Through the conducting of a community survey among the members of Crosshouse Parish Church and the village in which it is based, this thesis shows that the bridges into community already exist within the congregation and that the new minister is a participant-observer within the life of the congregation.
