7 Ways to Pastor Professionals

Jeff Haanen and Dustin Moody have a short article here, outlining seven ways church leaders can pastor people in the workplace.

1.   Visit your members in the workplace.

2.   Host a commissioning service for church members in the workplace.

3.   Use workplace illustrations in your sermons.

4.   Pray for people in different industries.

5.   Feature worship music that affirms work and creation.

6.   Select small group curriculum that focuses on work, calling, and culture.

7  Host ‘all-of-life’ interviews in your worship services.

These are very similar to the sorts of suggestions we’ve made through the work of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (for example, here and see also here).
