Caring for Your Pastor
“Pastor as Person in Ministry” is a course at Lutheran Brethren Seminary in Fergus Falls. In it we focus on helping our potential pastors become more aware of their need to care for themselves not only spiritually and physically, but mentally too. Pastors’ roles are full of blurred boundaries which often are aligned with increased stress. It is imperative these days more than ever for pastors to not only guard their boundaries but have specific personal steps for self care. It’s equally important for elder boards, other committees in our churches, and the rest of us parishioners to be sensitive to our pastors’ needs to take care of their health. Pastors need to be reassured that we understand at least some of the stress they are under and that it’s safe for them to ask for help.

Vision Statement
Faith & Fellowship Magazine informs, encourages and motivates readers by publishing a high quality magazine that starts with relevant content, followed by consistent layout leaving space for creative design to develop and communicate the visual identity that sets Faith & Fellowship apart from other magazines.
NOTE: Faith & Fellowship's (F&F) mission and vision statements are submissive to the mission and vision statements of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. So F&F assumes those statements as priority in the purpose in its work. F&F's statements are secondary and are more directly related to F&F's daily work and services.
