Ministry Nuts and Bolts

Ministry Nuts and Bolts provides the pastor or parachurch leader with a step-by-step guide for developing the foundation for a ministry in the twenty-first century. Veteran church planter, pastor, and seminary professor Aubrey Malphurs examines four foundational ministry concepts—values, mission, vision, and strategy—-and demonstrates how to develop them in local church ministry.

Many seminary graduates envision ministry as ninety-five percent sermon preparation and five percent for everything else, as seminaries often neglect these keys to ministry. This essential guidebook will bring clarity to the pastor through Malphurs’s wise counsel on leadership principles, illuminated by case studies and sound theology.
