16. THE CONNECTED PASTOR
Web Page Title

FM Connect
•
I’m a minister facing new problems
and exciting challenges every day.
•
We are the pastors and staff that
make the Free Methodist Church run.
•
I have a limited budget and a
constant need for experienced
help.
•
We’ve been there, experienced
almost everything and are ready to
help.
•
How do I take our Wesleyan
Tradition and make it relevant to
today's evangelicals?

Our Pastors are not alone. They have thousands of mentors and “staff members” at their fingertips 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. No need to repeat lessons that have already been learned.
