One of the questions i had to answer in my MASSIVE short answer application form for a job had this question... What do you believe is the role of a minister?
I think i gave a killer answer... It went like this...
"I believe the role of a minister is sixfold.
First is evangelism. A minister must introduce people to the message of salvation through Jesus.
Second is discipleship. A minister must teach the Word or God accurately and effectively.
Third is pastoral care. A minister must nurture those God has entrusted into their care.
Number four is empowerment. A minister must help a believer find their God given ministry within the Body of Christ and equip them to do this in the most dynamic manner.
Fifth is being an example. A minister must be able to say, like Paul... Follow me as i follow Christ (1 Cor 11:1).
Finally, a minister must be a servant to those in church."
