A Remote Pastor provides spiritual leadership, preaching, pastoral care, and ministry support virtually rather than onsite. This can include live-streamed services, online counseling, digital community building, and administrative leadership.

Core Responsibilities

• Teach & Preach: Prepare and deliver sermons, Bible studies, and devotional content online (video, webinars, livestreams, etc.).

• Pastoral Care: Provide spiritual guidance and counseling via phone, video calls, or messaging to church members or online community.

• Community Engagement: Lead and moderate online groups, prayer meetings, and fellowship gatherings.

• Administration: Coordinate with church leadership on ministry goals, schedules, volunteer support, and digital content planning.

• Outreach: Develop and run virtual outreach programs (e.g., social media ministry, online evangelism).

• Support: Respond personally to emails/messages and build relationships with congregants remotely.

Variations: Some remote pastor roles may focus more on counseling (e.g., biblical counselor phone support) or creative ministry leadership via online platforms.
