Abstract
Transfers are part of the life of every worker including Pastors.
Pastors of churches that practice Pastoral transfer go through the same exercise
and experience as any other worker. From the Bible, we learn that
some of the people used by God for his missional purposes were called and
sent from one region to the other. This article investigates Pastoral transfer
in Classical Pentecostal Churches in Ghana and its missional implications
for the church and the development of the pastoral family. The article examines
some of the policies and reasons for Pastoral transfer, the missional and
financial implications as well as the developmental implications it has on
pastors involved and their families. Interviews and literature study were the
tools used for data collection. Though several dynamics come to play in the
transfer of Pastors, I argue that the missional agenda of God as well as the
holistic development of the pastoral family must be the prime consideration.
