roles as seminary students to their new roles as leaders of
congregations.
- Developing self-understanding related to their role as pastor;
- Understanding the congregation served in terms of history,
ethos, programs, status in the community, and the relation
to the denomination;
- Establishing an appropriate pastoral relationship style
for their situation;
- Dealing with conflicts that may emerge in the congregation.
