Responsibilities of the Pastor When the pastor serves as a bi-vocational pastor, it is understood that these responsibilities will be adjusted accordingly, however, his ministry needs to be balanced between all responsibilities.

A. Ministerial 1. The pastor must believe, teach and promote the faith as believed by this church and described in the Baptist Faith and Message (Adopted by Southern Baptist Convention June 14, 2000). He shall minister to the church at all regular and appointed times of worship and service. 2. He shall serve as a pastor-leader, not as lord over or ruling executive, but as a loving servant as described in the Bible by Jesus to His disciples and spoken by Peter. 3. He will serve as a pastor-leader to develop a plan to meet the spiritual needs of the family through counseling, encouraging members, teaching Biblical responsibilities, fellowship and friendship. 4.

The pastor will be the shepherding administrator of the church by following the constitution, by-laws, church policy, budget, and other directed church activities. 3.
