To become a pastor, one typically needs to complete a bachelor's degree in theology, divinity, or a related field.

Any one whom God has called to preach the gospel (salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary) is a preacher/minister. A preacher/minister who has accepted a full/part time position as the spiritual leader of a church is a pastor. All pastors are preachers/ministers, but not all preachers/ministers are pastors.

My answer would be this: A preacher is one called by God to go out and preach God's Word to people. A pastor is a preacher who has been called to be a preacher to a church. A pastor has one church that he preaches at and calls his "home" church. A preacher might receive the call to preach, but doesn't stay at one church all the time. He might be a member of a church, but he doesn't necesarrily pastor there. Think of the idea of circuit preachers, moving from town to town.
Limited signers. Access to a church checking account should be limited to a few individuals. Having more than one signer is very helpful when the treasurer is on vacation or unavailable. But church pastors should not be authorized to sign checks. That would be a serious breach of good internal control
The word "pastors" is only in the New Testament once. The word "pastor" in its singular use is never used. No one person in the New Testament is called a pastor. This term and its use by many Christian people is totally misunderstood and misused. The terms "elder, teacher, overseer, bishop, presbytery, shepherd, and pastor" all mean the exact same. Never was there a paid or salaried pastor in the New Testament. No one elder ever stood out above the others. They functioned as a team.
The word pastor is found once in the book of Jeremiah (old testament KJV), pastors is found seven times in the same book and one time in the book of Ephesians 4:11 (New Testament KJV)

United Methodist pastors are appointed regularly for one year at a time. Every year the Bishop of an Area appoints a pastor to remain at their current church or to a new church. There is no hard and fast rule of when a pastor will move. Some churches are served by a pastor for many years, but it is true that Methodist pastors do move a lot. General wisdom says that pastors stay in smaller churches, <200 members, for 3-5 years on average. In larger churches the average increases to 5-8 years. But, there's nothing mandating this. Fun fact: In the early days of the Methodist Church in the United States it wasn't uncommon for pastors to move every quarter year. It was preferred that the pastors be single so as to accommodate this lifestyle. This has long since passed away.
