In a vague sense
- that would include those lead worshipers such as choir members, team members,
etc... But we are specifically dealing with those tasked with leading a
congregation in a worship setting. The main difference in a worship leader and
a worship pastor is the level
of pasturing done within the community.
A worship pastor
is involved with encouraging those within his community - raising up
leaders, investing in others, determining the needs, evaluating the
strengths, and acknowledging the weaknesses.
He knows his community like his own family. He is a pastor. He is a shepherd. He brings more than a song - and his job responsibilities weigh mores Monday through Saturday than they do on any given Sunday.
