This invaluable resource may well be the last church administration or management book you may ever need. This book covers virtually every aspect of church administration. In "A Pastor's Introduction to Church Administration" Dr. Odom presents a great wealth of information for pastors who may not be so well-versed in the administration of the Church. Dr. Odom addresses in great detail topics such as "Church Business Meeting", "Church Discipline", "Church Strategy", "Church Councils", "Design of a Pastoral Staff" and various other topics dealing with the administration of the church. "A Pastor's Introduction to Church Administration" comes to the aid of both seasoned and new ministers alike entering into the pastorate. Dr. Odom petitions the reader to explore different facets involved in church administration. Several pastors have viewed church administration as a loathsome and cumbersome task for years upon years. While many identify it as their least favorite area of ministry, the consensus is that church administration requires the lengthiest amount of the pastor's time. This book will assist the pastor in creating and maintaining effective structures which will free up more of the pastor's time for what matters most--ministry.
