William Jarema’s new book A Survival Guide for Church Ministers provides common sense advice and guidelines to assist and protect the pastor, parish coordinator, pastoral leader, church staff, school staff, and church volunteers and those who love them.

Contemporary church ministers experience many demands: church growth, aging buildings, expanding church ministries and services, paid personnel and effective supervision, dealing with state and federal laws like OSHA, HIPPA, merging churches, and programs and church staff.

This book will help church leaders embrace the evolution of change in our local churches and update pastoral skills, remain informed about the paradigm shifts occurring on all levels of church ministry, and still be effective in our chosen field of expertise as church leaders. 

This book is designed to assist the church leader with concise and usable information that can be applied to present church and ministry activities.
