The need for godly, mature, Spirit-filled pastors is of paramount importance to the health and vitality of God's church in North America. Questions abound concerning the best method of training these future leaders. Should they go to seminary? Is hands-on training in a local church a better option? Or, it is best to simply find a mentor and learn from a pastor worthy of respect? A Workman Approved answers these questions, providing a biblically robust and intensely practical look at pastor training in North America for those who long to love and lead God's church.
