The Leadership Role of the Pastor in the Congregation

Abstract

Christ is the head of the church, so what then is the pastor? This article makes the distinction that there is only one leader of the church, but pastors are leaders IN the church. All believers are members of God’s flock, and that flock needs shepherds who preach and teach the message of the Good Shepherd, Jesus. With the correct biblical understanding, pastors will rejoice to serve God as leaders in the church.
