Yesterday we started a series of posts which will consider how much church music should matter toa senior pastor, and what the music related responsibilities of a senior pastor should be. If you are new to this blog you should know that each day’s post will be a continuation of a series of thoughts being presented. Therefore, the reader will need to read any posts that he or she has missed in the series.
Every
pastor knows that there is a multiplicity of legitimate claims on the pastor’s
time. The list of responsibilities is
long and varied according to the specifics of each individual pastorate. Pastors are constantly made aware of how
important prioritizing time and delegating authority is to the success and
sanity of a public ministry.
As you have already guessed, I’m heading
somewhere with this discussion. The
purpose of this discourse is not to merely acknowledge that all pastors are
busy. What I am trying to say is that
along with the many things that pastors do, they must pastor the staff of
musicians who minister in the regular services.
I know that a good shepherd pastors,
in a general way, everyone who attends church, or is in some way affiliated or
connection to the church by being on its ministry list. I also know that depending on the church
size, much of the “pastoring” must be done by associates who help with ministering
responsibilities. I am aware that
pastor’s must delegate proper amounts of the church’s ministry to others. However, pastoring the music minister and his
staff should be done personally by the senior pastor. No other aspect of public worship will affect
the success or failure of the pastor’s ministry than the music in all church
services.
