Jimmy Scroggins, lead pastor at Family Church, has recently posted a series of blogs on bivocational ministry.  At SendSFL we are championing the bivocational model for church planting.

Here’s an excerpt from his first post:

At our recent Combined Campus Celebration we ordained 11 men to be Family Church Pastors. All of these men have completed a rigorous, 2-year program of examination and training, and all of them have been working another job while doing so. I have to admit I was a little surprised when 9 of the 11 told our ordination council that they want to remain bivocational. We need these 11 men and many more if we’re going to achieve our vision of 100 neighborhood churches. We have a public school teacher, football coach, paramedic, police officer, financial planner and others. They all love their jobs and are as passionate about them as they are about their positions at Family Church.
