Description
The role of a campus pastor is not found in the Bible. There is not much out there and every church seems to define the role differently. Frank Gil shares his experience in the role and invites friends to help you consider taking on this unique role or thrive at it.

How do people get baptized and partake in the Lord's Supper? And many more nuanced questions regarding Online Campus Ministry. But stick around for Alfredo's amazing words about the health of a pastor and the priestly ministry all campus pastors have.

I chose to only have one Lead Pastor on this podcast because I didn't want to muddy the waters with someone who isn't a campus pastor. Still, Andy loves campus pastors and has a fascinating church that I needed everyone to hear about. 
Andy Addis is the Lead Pastor of Crosspoint Church in Hutchinson, KS. We talk about the unique complexities of a rural multi-site church, how campuses across Kansas stay connected, and the importance of having sabbatic rhythms in ministry.
Andy is the real deal and this is one episode you would want to share, not just with other campus pastors, but with lead pastors that you know. Andy is trying to help pastors not burn out and that message is really important to all of us!
