Abstract
"The Role of a Pastor: As an Authentic Faithful Servant of God" examines how pastors should conduct themselves in the performance of their duties to God and to God's people. A prerequisite for a pastor's service to God is love. Before an individual can render service to God's people he or she must first love God. Without this love it is impossible for an individual to offer faithful, authentic service to God's people. Moreover, it becomes impossible to humbly lead, nurture and care for God's people. The work of a pastor is noble and multi-faceted and often goes unrequited. Accordingly the author uses three metaphors to describe the office of pastor: Pastor as Shepherd, Pastor as Teacher, and Pastor as Servant.
