At this point, it is essential to clarify the pastor’s role in relation to the mission of the church. Both as an individual and as a leader, the pastor must have a clear understanding of the church’s mission. He or she is the one who must communicate this mission to the whole congregation. Understanding the mission will determine the major focus of the church and the kind of activities the church will undertake. With the pastor’s guidance, each church must determine its own priorities in ministry. It is not right for one church simply to copy what another church is doing. As pastor, you will have to pray for an appropriate vision of this mission. Only then can you set a course and accomplish what God intends. Let us consider the following steps you can take to communicate your vision to the church and implement a plan.
