No. The pastor is called to shepherd and therefore must have a certain amount of authority but God is the head of the church. The pastor should be the highest human authority within the church but not so high that he is above accountability from the other elders in the church.

How much control should a pastor have over the church finances?
Every individual situation is unique, so there's no real right answer for that question. A lot of times the pastor of a church is involved in the finances because he knows what the church needs. Put a lot of prayer into it. No one person should be in total control of the finances though
Should you go to church every Sunday?
yes, we should go to church every Sunday. but we should not change our church. we should give offering to only one pastor.
In COGIC is the pastor a member of the Trustee Board?
In the Church Of God In Christ (COGIC), the pastor is not typically a member of the Trustee Board. The Trustee Board is usually made up of appointed members responsible for managing the financial and property affairs of the church, while the pastor's role is primarily in spiritual leadership and pastoral care of the congregation.
Why do baptist churches vote on a pastor every year if god sends the pastor to them?
God can't "send" them a pastor. It's a way for the church to express who they think is a "Gift from God"
How many years should a pastor have to have his own church?
In most mainstream denominations the congregation "owns" the church not the pastor. Some churches are created by one person who would "own" it, but in most cases the church is not owned by the pastor. I would be weary of a church where the pastor owns it. The when the denomination or congregation owns the church it provides checks and balances to avoid corruption and megalomania by a pastor or sole person running the church. If a person is a secondary worship leader and desires to be a senior pastor, then since most churches seeking a pastor have a "pulpit committee" that would help vet the candidates you would need to seek out churches that need a pastor and talk to the committee that is charges with finding the pastor. Each church has it's own set of requirements. My husband got out of seminary and got a church right away as a senior pastor and we have been at this one and only church for 22 years. Every congregation is unique and you will just have to contact each one like any other job you seek to have with resumes, recommendations etc.
Why does every one pray together in a church?

Who leads the Pentecostal church?
I am not entirely sure what you meant by this question, but I think you are asking who leads A pentecostal church rather than THE pentecostal church, but I could be wrong. A pentecostal church is lead by a Pastor who is usually selected by members of the church and has been ordained as a minister. My father is a Pentecostal minister. We attended the church before he was the pastor. The former pastor was asked to leave because of some personal issues and my father had just graduated from Bible College. My father was appointed as interim pastor which means they made him the pastor until they decided who would be the permanent one. Another man from the church also thought God wanted him to become the new pastor, so the church members voted and they chose my father. This may not be how every church does it. I do know of another church where the pastor died of old age and the assistant pastor became the new pastor, although I believe they still voted on it. HOWEVER!, if you were to ask my father who leads a pentecostal church, he would answer, without blinking and without a second thought,"God leads a pentecostal church". :)

Are Pets allowed in the United Methodist parsonage?
The issue of a clergyperson keeping pets in a parsonage is not delineated by the Book of Discipline. Particular Annual Conferences may have a policy established regarding pets in a parsonage. This is most likely the subject of negotiation and mutual understanding between the Pastor and the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee. Understandably, the church wants the parsonage to be taken care of. Most Annual Conference parsonage policies state that damage caused to the parsonage by the Pastor or Pastor's family that is not part of regular wear and tear is the responsibility of the Pastor to fix/compensate. However, every PPRC should consider the quality of life benefits for the Pastor and family by allowing pets in the parsonage. For many, pets are part of the family. Keeping your Pastor's family happy keeps the Pastor happy, which translates into the quality of work that the Pastor does leading your church.
What Sundays are Communion?
Unlike other denominations, Catholics actually take what Jesus said take my body and eat. This is done every as well as every mass. ---- It depends on the church. Many protestant churches have communion every second Sunday. Remote areas without a permanent pastor may only have communion once a month, depending on whether they can get a pastor to visit.

Is there confession in the baptist church?
Confession is good for the soul. In the Baptist church each member is their own priest and can pray for forgiveness directly to God. Confession to a person is not required to receive forgiveness from God. Now that said, counseling in the church is an important part of every pastor's duties.
