Executive pastors face many unknown challenges that are highlighted in this survey including:

  • What does a “typical” week look like for an executive pastor?
  • How does their role change with their church’s size?
  • What factors help them most in having a successful relationship with the senior pastor and with other staff?
  • Where do they struggle most?

These and other findings come from a survey conducted in January 2009, which drew responses from 555 executive pastors serving in congregations where weekly attendance ranges from 100 to 23,000.
