It's even more complicated when you are a large church in an area that is mostly used to small churches. We get people asking for pastor_____, who is actually our facilities director all the time. Society in general tends to assume that if you work fora church you're a pastor. However we are very careful about who we give the title to in actuality. Only a few of us who are elders have the title of Pastor. The other part is that we are overseeing several mistries of the church.
