parish ministry

This is a continuation of a workshop of the Montana Synod Assembly. We gathered members of multiple point parishes in Montana and Northern Wyoming. We started by talking about what purposes multiple point parishes serve and what models they tend to follow. * Larger congregation pared with one or more smaller congregations * Town church linked with one or two rural congregations * Several smaller towns sharing a pastor * Mulit-denominational parish within one small town What are the advantages and limitations involved?
