What you do mean by 'Not act right'? If they are doing something that you don't agree with then maybe it might be a good idea to confront them about it. It depends what it is. Otherwise you could always ask God for some assistance. First,you need to be sure that you can justify your own position from a Biblical point of view.Also,you have to be able to demonstrate in the same way that they are wrong.Approaching them privately would be the next step,and then with other witnesses,after the pattern of Matthew 18:15-20.But usually,each church has it's own procedures in place to deal with these situations.A spirit of humility in all such dealings give the best outcomes.Work to truly RESOLVE the situation,rather than to show someone up or score points.

What is the relationship of the deacon to the pastor?
The Deacon is usually the right hand of the pastor. In the absence of the pastor the chairman of the Deacon Board or ministry is in charge. If the church is for any reason without a pastor the deacon(s) are in charge. That is spiritually, financially, and will give counsel when necessary. In many traditional baptist churches the deacons pretty much run everything, this often includes the Pastor, as he answers to the Deacons. The deacons in the baptist church are the only other ordained ministry other than the pastor. Therefore the relation of the Deacons and Pastor are usually very close.

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.

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
Do you believe that people with develomental disabilities have a right and are excepted in the church as members?
Yes, these people should be accepted as church members. The church should accept their profession of faith in Christ at face value and not ask how well they understand what they believe - and that should apply to all members.

Can a pastor question your tithe?
First of all in order for a pastor to question your tithes, the Pastor has to know how much you make. If the Pastor thinks that the member is not giving the proper amount in tithes, then the Pastor and the member could sit down together so that the Pastor could explain about Tithing and what percentage should be given to the church and not to the pastor. Also, the Pastor has to take into account that the member could be working on commission or getting social security, unemployment or some other income therefore the tithing amounts could change each time. They can certainly challenge you on your tithe if they feel that's the right thing to do. They cannot do anything about it if you state that you are giving what you feel is right.
What is the difference between a temporary pastor and a permanent pastor?
Some churches have a pastor for three years only, they are called temporary pastors. But smaller churches have pastors serving for many years at that church only they are called permanent pastors.--Some very small churches have pastors that are assigned to a bigger church. These may be associate pastors in bigger local churches, and are assigned to these small churches, whereby they are under the supervision of a senior pastor, and gain experience in being a pastor in their own right. In many places these temporary pastors are called Vicars.
