Spokane Pastors

I've probably met close to a hundred pastors in Spokane, if not more. I've noticed a trend. The more personable, wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve pastors almost always follow a parish model. The more formal that a pastor's personality is, the more likely he will pastor a congregation that commutes for worship.

I wonder about this trend. My inclination is to say this is a difference between idea/doctrine-focused ministries and service focused ministries, and that a congregation very much reflects its pastor.
