How old were you when you started pastoring?
I have a friend who left engineering to be a pastor, he’s in seminary now. He’s like 42, not really “old” but he will be 45 by the time he graduates and is open for call. He is a little worried some might see him as too old for the job, but is trusting God of course. I was 31 when I stated pastoring.
Do churches really want young seminary grads or are they open to older pastors? any other second-career pastors here too?
