Helopoulos (Th.M., Dallas Theological Seminary) is associate pastor at University Reformed Church in East Lansing, Michigan. In The New Pastor’s Handbook, Helopoulos comes alongside new pastors as a trusted friend and mentor, offering help and encouragement through the first years of ministry.

Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor of University Reformed Church, lauded Helopoulos’ book.

“I wish I could have read this book when I was just starting out in ministry,” DeYoung said. “This personal, practical volume will serve as a valuable guide for many young pastors and quite a few older ones too.”
