Bivocational Pastors
Clip: 3/27/2014 | 8m 3s
There were a lot of people in the Bible who were of great use to God and had another job.
Some ministers are answering the call to care for their families and tend to their flocks by working two full-time jobs. It's a growing trend in Tennessee, with nearly half of the state’s Baptist churches being led by a pastor who also has another job. It is a tradition with biblical origins, says Ray Gilder, the bivocational specialist for the Tennessee Baptist Convention.
