This might sound a little strange, but as a pastor of a small church, I think a some info about computer networking, website design, basic plumbing, electrical and other building maintenance would be helpful. It would provide two benefits: 1. provide some common ground in the areas where many people now work, but pastors know very little about (unless it's your hobby). 2. allow the pastor to make a meaningful contribution to the conversation regarding these matters. In bigger churches, I am sure they have a committee for that... not always the case in smaller churches.
