Pastoring Small Towns

Help and Hope for Those Ministering in Smaller Places

Small town life is quite different from life in a big city. There is not as much traffic. People recognize each other at the grocery store. Local sporting events carry a different cultural weight, and it may not be out of the ordinary to wait behind a tractor or get used to the smell of a nearby factory. These communities are unique, and pastoring here is an extraordinary task. Ronnie Martin and Donnie Griggs are well-aware of this reality. In Pastoring Small Towns, their hope is to equip pastors and ministry leaders to take on the different nuances that come with pastoring smaller communities. They point out the cultural realities of these places and give pastors the tools to effectively engage their people with the Gospel.

Calm, steady-handed, and focused wisdom on pastoring

Highly recommended! I completely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I always appreciate when the author can provide their own recording as good as this one. They write with deep knowledge of the Bible and humility about many years of experience shepherding the flock that they clearly love.

Great Book for Church Planters

If you have felt even the slightest tug to plant a church in a small or mid-size town, this is a must read.
