One important theme in the Gospels has Jesus calling men to follow Him and to be equipped by Him to be apostles.
Jesus didn't establish churches and the position of the pastor of a congregation is absolutely foreign to everything Jesus said and did.
In fact, there were no congregational pastors at all in the New Testament. However, Ephesians says that until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, Jesus will give to His Body apostles, prophets, evangelists and shepherds and teachers.

Question: As a part of the Churches of God, General Conference, the Bible is our only rule of faith and practice.
On what biblical authority does the new strategic plan place emphasis on the position of the pastor of a congregation?
