What is an apprentice recovery pastor?

Apprentice Recovery Pastors are individuals who are training under the guidance of experienced recovery pastors to help people struggling with addiction, trauma, or other life-controlling issues. They typically work in a church or faith-based setting, assisting with support groups, counseling, and spiritual guidance. Their role involves learning the principles of recovery ministry, providing emotional and spiritual support, and developing leadership skills for future pastoral roles. This apprenticeship period allows them to gain hands-on experience while deepening their understanding of recovery processes and pastoral care.
