Small churches can get left out when training new pastors is done. Sometimes, it is because people don’t realize how different a small town can be from a larger town or city. Ronnie Martin and Donnie Griggs have done a great job of drawing out how being a pastor in these often rural areas stands out. How it is sometimes harder, but also the benefits that come with it.

I am not a pastor, but I am a deacon at a small church and help some other small churches in the area. That is why I was interested in this book, so that I could better support the pastors I know. It has plenty of helpful information on what to expect and how pastors can serve their congregations. I would recommend this book to anyone that serves at a small town church.

I received a free copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
