The Complete Guide to Pastoral Visitation
By Dr. John & Patricia Chadwick

From early biblical times until now pastoral visitation has been a vital part of a pastor's ministry. Up until the last 30 or 40 years it was an expected part of ministry from the pastor.

The last generation of pastors, however, has overlooked it. The question is why. Is it still needed today? Through the questioning of both the pastors and parishioners it was confirmed that pastoral visitation was considered an essential ministry to the parishioner. Once this was brought to the pastor's attention and some training was given to the pastors, they felt more comfortable in this ministry.

Pastoral visitation benefits both parties. The pastor can better reach the congregation through this ministry. The congregation benefits by seeing God's love in action through this ministry. There are no golden words but the pastor's mere presence and a few words are all it often takes to make a difference.

This work also gives the reader some basic words of wisdom, Bible verses, and prayers to use during pastoral visitation along with ideas to some basic calls that a pastor will make during their pastorate. It also discusses the importance of lay visitation and outlines a lay visitation program to be used in the churches.
