Sabbatical

The following guidelines and best practices are intended to assist churches in the CPD as they create a sabbatical policy for pastoral staff, and to assist church boards and pastors prepare for a pastoral sabbatical leave. These guidelines and best practices are not requirements of the CPD, but are intended to be a helpful resource for you.

We have also included an example of how to present the sabbatical to your congregation well from Larry Boss, Lead Pastor of Kamloops Alliance Church.
