New Testament Pastoral Leadership

Abstract

“A Christian minister must be something before he can do anything.” This axiom, spoken by Woodrow Wilson’s father, a Presbyterian minister, informs Leyrer’s topic. Pastors have much to do, but added to the duties is the position. The pastor is a leader in the church. This paper gathers the New Testament’s definitions of a leader and encourages leaders to find their joy in being one whom God has made.
