IMPROVED ANSWER:
It would depend on what type of meeting is taking place. Growing up in the Methodist Church, we had various committees to oversee various things that went on in the function, structure, and construction of the church.
The pastor (or preacher, as we called him) was not required to be at all the committee meetings, unless he was a member of that committee, or if he was invited to attend a meeting.
An example would be, a pastor may be a member of the Finance Committee, which oversees the economy of the church. He would not attend the meeting of the Flower Committee (which was women who were in charge of setting a yearly calendar of women in the church to place flowers in the sanctuary for a particular Sunday Service, for only the women placed flowers in the church I attended at a child). The pastor would have no need to attend a meeting such as this, unless the ladies invited him to join the session.

What is the role of a deacon in the Baptist church?
He can be part of the leadership of the church and is usually always a help to the pastor. A deacon will therefore help with preaching, teaching, assisting elders and special needs people, as well as supervising church functions, and can also usually be found in pastor's meetings to help the pastor make decisions.
Why a pastor can not remove a deacon in the batist church?
Baptist churches are democracies. The church elects the deacons after recommendations by the congregation or pastor. The pastor is NOT in control of the church the members are except in Baptist churches that are called "independent" and are not affiliated with a large convection like the General Baptist or Southern Baptist. This is done so the pastor can not take too much control of the church. But the church members can vote to remove a deacon. These types of things are done at business meetings in the church.

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.
