Young Pastors Get On-the-Job Training in Southern
Nearly all Protestant churches
ordain their ministers as soon as
they complete their seminary
training, reported Elder Lynn
Mallery of Loma Linda University
to a group of ministers in Glen-
dale recently. Seventh-day Ad-
ventists are different, though, he
said. Ordination is delayed several
years after seminary and is a con-
firmation that a pastor is minister-
ing effectively to the needs of his
congregation.
To help new ministers develop
their pastor skills before ordina-
tion, the Southern California
Conference, in conjunction with
the Pacific Union, has a program
of continuing education geared
especially to their needs.
A committee of young pastors
works with Elder John Todoro-
vich, ministerial director of the
Conference, to plan meetings that
will help them in the practical
areas of church work.
Chairman of the committee cur-
rently is Dennis Wallstrom,
associate pastor at Temple City.
Other members are Monty Knittel
of Pasadena, Richard Bernal of
Spanish-American, and Richie
Carbajal of Central Filipino.
Many programs are of a ‘‘how-
to’’ nature. Elder Miguel Cerna of

Miramonte Boulevard Church
Special Programs To Mark 25th Anniversary
Miramonte Boulevard Church
will celebrate its 25th anniversary
with a week of special programs
December 1-8.
Under the leadership of Elder
William Webb, the church began
in 1954 with 40 members. It was
an outgrowth of the Normandie
Avenue congregation, then
known as the Compton Avenue
Church. Evangelist Charles Carter
was instrumental in building up
the church.
Originally located on Holmes
Avenue, the congregation moved
to its present location because of a
growing membership. There are
now about 300 members. Serving
as pastor is Elder James Kyle.
Speakers for the 7 p.m. meet-
ings will be pastors who have serv-
ed the Miramonte Boulevard
Church during its first quarter
century. Included will be Elder
Joseph T. Powell on Sunday,
Elder Leslie Anderson on Mon-
day, Elder Jackson Doggette, Sr.,
on Tuesday, Elder Major White
on Wednesday, Elder James
Melancon on Thursday, and Elder
Harvey Kibble on Friday. Sabbath
speakers will be Elder William
Webb and Elder C. D. Brooks,
speaker of the Breath of Life
telecast.
All members and friends are in-
vited to attend these anniversary
programs. The church is located
at 7617 Miramonte Boulevard in
Los Angeles.
spoke on ‘‘How To Plan and
Conduct Your Own Evangelistic
Series.’ Elder Mallery discussed
“Organizing the Pastor’s Sched-
ule,”” and Elder John Rhodes
discussed ‘““What To Expect and
Plan for During Your First Year
as Pastor.”
In addition to pre-ordained
meetings, young ministers can at-
tend the John W. Osborne Lec-
tureship on preaching. The second
annual seminar was held October
29 and 30 at La Sierra with guest
speaker Elder James Londis of the
Sligo Church in Washington,
D.C.
A three-day intern-supervisor
workshop is held annually to aid
senior pastors and interns in
developing a cooperative ministry.
“The complexities of the age
and society we live in demand a
degree of skill and professional
Rolling Hills
proficiency in ministry today that
was not demanded of the young
minister a generation ago. The
Pre-ordained Workers Seminars
are structured to help young
ministers develop the necessary
skills to meet those demands in a
practical, professional manner,”
says Elder Todorovich.

Church Will Survey Community
Hundreds of Palos Verdes
Peninsula residents will soon
receive a Community Health
Survey from the Rolling Hills
Church. According to Rolling
Hills Pastor Deane Nelson, the
survey results will help the Church
plan its evangelistic and communi-
ty outreach.
“We define health in a very
broad sense, including the
physical, mental and spiritual,”
says Elder Nelson. The survey will
measure residents’ perception of
what they can do about their
health, especially in the area of
preventive medicine such as
weight and stress management,
and where they would go to seek
help or education.
The Church is seeking to find
out in a very scientific way what
the real needs of the community
are and whether its people would
respond to the kinds of programs
the Church could offer, according
to Elder Nelson.
The Survey Research Service of
Loma Linda University will con-
duct the survey, under the direc-
tion of Dr. David Abbey. Local
church members and Loma Linda
University students will carry out
the project.
The surevey will be based on a
sample of the population of the
Palos Verdes Peninsula that will
represent the various socio-
economic strata and geographical
regions of the community.
Pretesting will take place in ear-
ly December and the actual survey
will be conducted in January and
February, 1980. Results will be
available in mid-summer.
