staff pastors begin their work day with an hour or more of prayer and spend the
remainder of their time in ministry visitation accompanied by their lay
leaders.[1]
During the annual Grand Home Visitation, 171 ordained pastors and 356
non-ordained pastors systematically visit all 700,000 members in their homes or
businesses in a three-month period.[2]
A typical staff pastor works with up to fifteen section leaders, one hundred
cell group leaders and two thousand church members.[3]
[1]Ibid., 13, 37, 63, 220. Cf. Hurston, “A Day in the Life.”
[2]A typical staff pastor will visit three hundred homes during the Grand Home Visitation, averaging ten homes per day. Hurston, Growing the World’s Largest Church, 117, 219.
