Abstract:
Transfers are part of the life of every worker including Pastors. Pastors of churches that practice Pastoral transfer go through the same ex-ercise 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 exam-ines 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.
