Biblical Church Administration
Rev. David Schramm

Sometimes as pastors we compartmentalize our lives into the “sacred” and the “secular”. This seminar will look at ways that all of our professional life is sacred, including church administration.

We will look together at the practical application for church administration of the Biblical concepts of divine calling and guidance, spiritual gifts and authority, and interpersonal relations.
