Pastor’s Role In this day and age when there seems to be a lot of confusions as to what a pastor is, biblically, a pastor is an/a:
• Exegete and expositor of God’s truth (Scripture);
• Preacher (a passionate proclaimer of God’s propositional truths);
• Theologian (a student and teacher of historic Christian faith and contemporary theological issues);
• Apologist (a defender of faith);
• Counselor (biblical/nouthetic counseling, rather than psychological);
• Equipper (equipping the saints for the work of the ministry – raising and training future leaders);
• Leader;
• Shepherd; and
• Mission-minded and passionately purposeful supporter of church planting.
