- Abstract
- This project seeks to answer the question: How can Presbyterian churches more effectively minister to their pastor and pastor's family? The sample consisted of 235 pastors, 187 spouses, and 167 churches from three Presbyterian denominations: EPC, PCA, and PCUSA. Churches, pastors, and spouses constitute statistically distinct groups in their perceptions of the churches' ministry toward the pastor and family. Churches judge their performance best, then pastors, and least impressed are spouses. Pastors and spouses desire to be ministered to by the church more holistically than the churches desire. The greatest areas of disappointment by pastors and spouses are not in ministering to the professional role of the pastor, but to the pastor as a person. Correlations were found between the perception of emotional support and financial support. Correlations give churches and pastors handles on the most effective ministry by the church toward the pastor and family.
