Recently, we found out about a convention on one of our blog comments that focussed solely on improving the pastor and teacher relationship. We thought this was such a phenomonal idea that we booked our flights right away and spent 2 days in Providence, Rhode Island, interviewing pastors and teachers from all over New England. Listen to what a few of them had to say.

  We sat down recently with real life church and school leaders at Ooltewah SDA Church in Ooltewah, Tennessee for a round-table discussion about the dynamics of a church school.  We spoke about the challenges that the pastor faced throughout the years, and why they made the decision to make OAKS a one-church school.  You’ll find this episode both insightful and entertaining as Pastors Mike Pettingill, Fernando Verduzco and Principal Kimberly Thompson join us in honest conversation about the relationship between a church and school.
