If you are interviewing with a church board for the pastor position and they ask you if you have ever filed bankruptcy do you have to answer?

I say that you answer the question truthfully. There are many reasons why people file for bankruptcy protection. Tell them your story from the heart, what God has taught you through it, how it has matured you in your walk with Christ and your family relationships as well. The last think you want to do is be evasive. It is over if you even hint at being elusive on this subject. Remember...churches have budgets and money and as the senior pastor you will be entrusted with both. More importantly, the responsibility to the Lord. Be honest!

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.
