From Pastor-Centered to Congregation-Centered: Finding Joy in the Midst of an Uncertain Future - Reverend Peter Ilgenfritz. Episode 116

Many smaller congregations these days are struggling to find effective pastoral leadership, or, for that matter, any pastor at all. Interestingly, there is significant evidence that congregations that are less dependent on having a pastor at the center of things all the time are better able to adapt to a changing environment. Put differently: being more congregation-centered than pastor-centered can enable them to be more nimble and responsive. But how do you get there? In this episode titled, “From Pastor-Centered to Congregation-Centered: Finding Joy in the Midst of an Uncertain Future,” Rev. Peter Ilgenfritz shares the highlights of how he and the congregation he serves evolved in just this way, and the new joy  and vitality they are experiencing.
