Pastoral Duties & Powers (A) General Role The pastor of this church is never to be looked upon as a hired man. Neither is he to be a lord over God's heritage, but he is to shepherd and feed the flock of God over which the Holy Spirit has made him an overseer. The pastor shall preach the Gospel regularly and shall be at liberty to preach the whole counsel of the Word of God as the Lord leads him. He shall oversee the administration of the ordinances of the church, act as moderator at all church meetings for the transaction of church matters, supervise the teaching ministries of the church, and tenderly watch over the spiritual interests of the membership. He shall perform such other duties as generally appertain to such a position. He shall be free to choose the means and methods by which he exercises the ministry God has given him.
(B) Worship and Property Management All meetings for public worship and Bible study and the arrangements thereof, including time and place and the use of the property belonging to the church for purposes other than the stated meetings, shall be under the control of the pastor, who shall be able to determine the appropriateness of practices as well as persons permitted to use the church property.
(C) Pulpit Responsibility The pastor shall be responsible to fill the pulpit for each regularly scheduled church service as well as any special services. In the event of his absence, he (or the chairman of the board of deacons in the case of a vacancy in the office of pastor or where the pastor is ill and unable to perform his duties) shall be responsible to invite speakers from within the membership or outside the church to preach in a manner consistent with the beliefs articulated in the Doctrinal Statement.
(D) Safety and Security The pastor shall be responsible, in coordination with the board of deacons, to establish mandatory safety and security procedures for all ministries and programs.
