I'm Baptist. In our church, deacons write the bylaws along with the pastor. If for some reason the pastor disagrees then they have a discussion over the matter. then the church as a whole can vote on it in a business meeting. In an independent baptist church the pastor can override any or all deacons if he believes it is following God's will for the church. In a southern baptist church the pastor pretty much has no say over the deacons. He can however put in a "vote" to have deacons removed if he believes they are not follwing the will of God. Bylaws do not change often because they are a huge hassle and it does not really need to be changed often because it should be really close to the Word of God.

Can a pastor fire a director of the choir before meeting with the trustees of the church?
It depends on your churches written bylaws, but in many instances, the pastor does have the power to fire staff without prior meetings. The meetings are often done only as a courtesy.

Can a pastor of a non for profit church ask a member of the church to please move out of town?
WHAT?! No, a pastor of ANY church cannot ask someone to move out of town and any good, Christian pastor would never do that! The only thing a pastor may do is if he feels that a member of a church has committed a bad sin and will not confess, the pastor can have the church vote on it and the person may be asked to leave the church, but NO PASTOR can kick someone out of town and if that is what's happening, than that pastor is not a good, Christian pastor and he should be reported to the head of the district for whatever denomination his church is.
Do you need an ordained pastor to hold an Ash Wednesday service?
This depends upon the bylaws and rules of the local church - some permit lay leaders for a worship service, while others require the leaders to be an ordained pastor.
