Understanding Bivocational and Co-vocational Church Planting
Bivocational and co-vocational church planting differ significantly in their approach to ministry and work. Bivocational church planters typically hold a part-time job in the marketplace that they see as temporary until their church can sustain them full-time. In contrast, co-vocational church planters integrate their primary marketplace vocation into their ministry, seeing both as equally important and interrelated callings. This distinction fosters a perspective that recognizes the enduring benefits of participating in the marketplace, allowing for richer community engagement and relationship-building.
