No pastor knows everything. They do not have all the skills required to lead a Church. Understanding the Bible and grasping theological concepts is challenging enough; they also need insights into leadership, building maintenance, volunteer coordination, recruiting, fundraising, discipleship, outreach, event planning, organizational skills, and about a hundred other things. Every pastor is highly skilled in some areas but lacking in others.

The good news is that God gave us a Church community. No pastor, staff member, elder, deacon, ministry team leader, or volunteer is required to be good at everything. That is why we have each other. You make up for your pastor’s shortcomings, and they compensate for yours too.

The Church is the body of Christ on earth, and every part of it is vital. You may not feel like you contribute much, but as a Pastor, I want you to know that I need YOU to complete the work of Jesus on earth. We are all in this together.
