Together with Called to Serve, these two volumes are the bread and butter of many officer training courses in the URCNA. There are twenty practical chapters in this volume, written overwhelmingly by URCNA pastors for URCNA officers. All the chapters are solid, but key topics include hospitality, caring for the pastor, congregational singing, and missions.
