Puritan Board Freshman
Hi! I am wondering what any fellow pastors thinks about a pastor buying a house or just renting given that the average pastor stay at a particular church is 3-5 years. I am pastoring a church and have been here in a small rural church for almost 4 years. I would like to stay here for longer but I would be surprised if I make it here more than a couple more years. This was my first pastorate and I did not even think about the matter and so my family and I just decided we wanted to buy a house. The issue is will we have a hard time selling it if we have to move in the next couple of years. Personal experiences? Next time would it be best to rent and then when know going to be somewhere a while to buy? Of course I trust in the sovereignty of God but I want to be a good steward and take care of my family. Blessings!
