GOD IS NOT AS INTERESTED in growing the size of a church as He is in growing the people inside.  That includes the pastor.  A spiritually unhealthy pastor often has an unhealthy effect on the church.  Today’s pastors are being challenged to create a spiritually healthy environment in their churches so that growth can take place.  When we shift our focus from an obsession with church growth to a passion for church healthy, we will see God grow His churches like never before.

Here is a trustworthy saying:  If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task.  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.  He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?). 1 Timothy 3:1-5      

This curriculum outlines 6 basic characteristics of a healthy pastor.  The formula is simple when we see how God likes to grow His church.
