Agree? Disagree? Anything to add?
1. Love of congregation. “If we know that our
pastor loves us, everything else falls in place. If he doesn’t, nothing else
matters.”
2. Effective preaching. “I don’t have any
expectation that my preacher be one of the best in the world, I just want to
know that he has spent time in the Word each week to teach us effectively and
consistently.”
3. Strong character. “No pastor is perfect,
but I do want a pastor whose character is above reproach on moral, family, and
financial issues.”
4. Good work ethic. “I don’t want either a
workaholic pastor or a lazy pastor."
5. Casts a vision. “Our church has so much
possibility; I want to hear what we will do to make a difference in our
community and the world.”
6. Demonstrates healthy
leadership. “Most of the pastors in my church have demonstrated a good
balance; they have been strong leaders but not dictators.”
7. Joyous. “Our current pastor is
a man of joy. His joy and enthusiasm are contagious. I love him for that!”
8. Does not yield to
critics. “I
know that every pastor serving today has his critics. And I know it’s tough to
deal with them. I just want these pastors to know that we supporters are in the
majority. Please don’t let the minority critics dictate how you lead and
serve.”
9. Transparent. “Every pastor that I
have had has been open and transparent about the church and the direction we
are headed. It sure has made our church healthier.”
10. Models evangelism. “Our pastor is
passionate about sharing the gospel. His heart and attitude are contagious.”
