What Does Pastor Mean?
Pastor is a person authorised to conduct religious worship. Thus he is a priest appointed to attend to the pastoral care of one or more parishes. Hence he is the head minister or priest of a Christian church. He has several responsibilities like teaching, sanctifying and administration with the help and cooperation of other priests and deacons. The Presiding Bishop of the Annual Conference in which the church is located is responsible for the appointment of a pastor.
