As a pastor, sometimes it feels we wear a lot of hats. This is a random list I quickly put together of roles I sometimes get to play as a pastor:
- Mediator
- Counselor
- Encourager
- Teacher
- Minister
- Leader
- Social media manager
- Advocate
- Rehabilitation Coordinator
- Business Administration
- Human Resources
- Writer
- Technologist
- Data analyst
- Public speaker
- Theologian
- Politician
- Motivator
- Comedian
- ________________
Pastors, as you can tell, there are only 19…the next is yours…
What would you add to this list?
Driver
Yes, I do that! Either in a car or as the "ship" 🙂
The obvious one – preacher, which differs from a public speaker. A preacher is one who proclaims as a herald the message of the King!
Of course. How did I miss it?
Fundraiser
Very true
Visionary
Activist
Yes, good one

Strategic thinker

Lawn manicurist
Ha! Haven't done that one, but I have pulled weeds at the office while I talked on the cell phone.
The good ones, Disciple.
Prayer Warrior
Good add.
Recruiter?
I've done that…
Servant
Can't believe I didn't put this one…but yes!
Rescue Worker
Many times! Almost put Firefighter, but didn't want to sound disrespectful for the heroes who fight physical fires…but many times I rescue and fight relational/situational fires.
I agree with Carl, I was thinking Handy Man/Woman
I've changed the toilet paper….I'm not much better than that…but I know pastors who have to be the repairperson of the church.
