2 Timothy 3:16-17 explains that God teaches all of us to live in righteousness. Just because someone has the title of “pastor” does not necessarily make them more knowledgeable or skilled than others in the church.

A good pastor identifies those in his congregation who have gifts from God and uses those people to better serve the Lord. Some people in the church will have decades of experience in accounting – allow them to oversee the churches financials.

Other people may have established schools and be experts in teaching – allow them to create the curriculum for youth programs.

The art of delegation is a learned skill, but certainly, a quality that an effective pastor will have. Although pastors will be involved in many church and community activities, there is only so much time in a day.

Good pastors will work with others to build strength in the church.
