Rural Pastor Job Description Templates
How do we create a job description for a full-time pastor or a bivocational pastor? We often look to our own experience and what we have seen in our workplace. However, a pastor or bivocational pastor job description is described in the New Testament with the three responsibilities to shepherd the flock of God (1 Peter 5:2), to oversee the ministry of the church (1 Timothy 3:1-7), and to pay careful attention to himself (Acts 20:28).
The job description of a full-time pastor and a bivocational pastor are similar, but they are also different to help each pastor fulfill his calling in his ministry. Take note of these templates of job descriptions, one for a full-time pastor and one for a bivocational pastor.
