The average age of a pastor is 60 years old. The question of retirement is one many pastors are asking. Being a lead pastor comes with unique demands and extra attention. Is there an ideal age to retire? Thom and Sam discuss some guidelines for those who are closer to retirement than not.
-
- The strength of your voice (and body) is a factor.
- It’s unwise to hang on for several years for financial reasons. Go do something else.
- A clear succession plan tends to give you a better final season at a church.
- The belief your church “needs” you will often hurt the congregation more than you realize.
- Can you keep up with technology and the new requirements of ministry?
- The retirement age range for most is between 62 and 72 years old.
- An interim or revitalization ministry is a solid option.
