Abstract
We present the results of a qualitative study from interviews conducted with 13 Southern Baptist pastors. We explored the constructs of personal affiliation dynamics involved in pastoral ministry and here report three findings common among the pastors: (a) Be intentional about pastoral connectedness since it is paramount to effective ministry, (b) Be available to congregants who desire connection with pastoral staff, and (c) Give particular attention to connections with lay church leadership.
