They ask what's the mission of the preacher man? Is this just a social get together? Great post. This reminds me of a song by the Band King’s X. They ask what’s the mission of the preacher man?

I am sure you have heard of it, but they tackle some of these questions. The idea of the priesthood of believers, and that God never intended one human to take on so many roles intrigues me. I think the fact that you and your co-pastors are talking about it and thinking about it will result in a healthy leadership style.

If we "pastor" only for money then we are hirelings not shepherds. You and those who serve with you are doing so out of call and love. Just keep doing it. That which God purposes he provides for. As pastors we only have a different role in the body/church not a better role; we are all servants but shepherds lead with joy and humility. At 63 I only wish I would have asked the questions you are asking much sooner than I did. God's leadership flow chart is much different than those we've all seen. In the church in should flow from bottom up; that is we are not over but uder. If Jesus is the head then the church don't need more heads, it needs shepherd who will occupy a place of leading by servitude rather than as an authoritarian. There is a God and I'm not him!
