Pastor Job Description

I found an illustration that sums up what most people expect out of a pastor:

The Perfect Pastor

  1. The perfect pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes.
  2. He condemns sin roundly but never hurts anyone’s feelings.
  3. He works from 8am until midnight and is also the church janitor.
  4. The perfect pastor makes $40 a week, wears good clothes, drives a good car, buys good books, and donates $30 a week to the church.
  5. He is 29 years old and has 40 years experience.
  6. Above all, he is handsome.
  7. The perfect pastor has a burning desire to work with teenagers,and he spends most of his time with the senior citizens.
  8. He smiles all the time with a straight face because he has a sense of humor that keeps him seriously dedicated to his church.
  9. He makes 15 home visits a day and is always in his office to be handy when needed.
  10. The perfect pastor always has time for church council and all of its committees.
  11. He never misses the meeting of any church organization and is always busy evangelizing the unchurched.
  12. The perfect pastor is always in the church down the street!
