Are you a multi-vocational pastor (MVP) within the Church of the Brethren? Do you work a job, or multiple jobs, as well as leading a congregation? Are you more than part time but not paid on scale? Would you like to share with someone about your journey as an MVP? Will you not be able to attend Annual Conference this year in Fort Wayne, Indiana?
This is your chance to meet with Ryan Braught, program manager of the Part Time Pastor; Full Time Church program, various “circuit riders” from the program, as well as other MVPs within the Church of the Brethren. This is an opportunity to share your thoughts, ideas, hopes, dreams, and how the Part Time Pastor; Full Time Church program of the Church of the Brethren might walk alongside you, support you, and encourage you.
