Finding Your Role as a Musical Pastor: A Study of Vocation and Stewardship of Musical Acts

Abstract

A pastor who is musically gifted should not feel that he must abandon music altogether for the sake of his ministry. Both can work together for the benefit of the church. If God has blessed a pastor with musical gifts, then that pastor can find ways to use them in his ministry, even if he is the sole pastor of a congregation. A musically gifted pastor may consider his parish’s circumstances to decide how he might use his musical abilities for the benefit of the church without thinking that his gifts are wasted.
