Church Planter or Pastor?
-October 30, 2008-Comments (0)
"When does a church planter become a pastor? To my knowledge this question demands a response. Most, if not all, writings in the areas of church planting and pastoral ministry exclude the other. Maybe addressing the question isn't important to some - but from the comments church planters are making and pastors of inherited churches are proclaiming, both exclude the other.
I'm searching through the New Testament for the answer. So far there is no difference - or at least a line of demarcation. As a matter of fact, the terms are considered to be the same person. So, I'm wondering, why are the two exclusive of each other in 2008? Should they be? If so, when does a church planter become a pastor?
