Pastors and ministers have an almost limitless number of duties in their roles as leaders of a church congregation. In addition to being knowledgeable of the Bible and in prayerful communication with God, a pastor:
leads by example demonstrating a strong working knowledge of scripture for worship and counsel,
prepares and presents the regular worship sermons and messages,
provides counseling services for weddings and funerals,
shepherds their flock providing counsel and support to church members and
challenges church members to follow biblical principles.
