No, his main goal was to keep his authority of the church.
In "The Crucible", John Proctor does not attend church regularly because he does not like, or agree with, the Reverend Parris. Because of this, he also refuses to have his last child baptized.
Abigail is Parris's niece. Parris is the new reverend in the chuch, but no one really likes him because he wants to change to much. Proctor really hates him for this reason, which is why he stopped going to church.
Parris wants respect, reverence, admiration and acceptance. He wants people to appreciate his skills more.

proctor explains to Hale that he does not like Parris' theology. He says that Parris spends too much time lecturing on the devil and damnation. he also says that he built the roof on the church (so that there is no way he could be connected with the devil) and that he does not trust Parris with his children's baptisms.
Because He does not think Mr. Parris is godly
There were several unnotable ministers in the early part of the Salem Village Church. The most famous, and first ordained, minister of the church was Samuel Parris. He is often associated with the Salem Witch Trials.
Parris is a greedy and selfish minister which angers Proctor. He wants gold candlesticks (symbol of his greed) and the deed to his home which illustrates his desire to have importance and wealth in the Salem town. Also Proctor dislikes him because of the topics he discusses in church (mortgages, deeds, hell) and this causes Parris to believe Proctor is creating a party against him within the Church.
In 'The Crucible', Reverend Parris wants Danforth to do two things. He wanted him to either start pardoning prisoners or push back their hangings.
Samuel Parris was in charge of the church in Salem Village. Nicholas Noyes lead the main church in Salem. I'm not sure if they'd be classified as "pastors," but religious terminology is not my strong suit.
