What do you call a baptist minister Do you call him Pastor Smith Reverend Smith Mr Smith?
Answer
Pastor Smith.
Answer
Never Reverend, sometimes Brother, but usually Pastor. It varies a little between churches and individuals as to how they wish to be known. In some cases, they would be referred to as Dr. if they have a PhD in ministry/theology.
Amen
But you shouldn't call someone a doctor if they don't have a doctorate, though many elderly preachers are known to have been given honorary doctorates due to their generosity to a particular school.
Answer
Also, sometimes, Preacher Smith, or (say his first name is...Bob) you would say Preacher Bob. It depends on how formal the church is, how the pastor feels about it, and sometimes how young the pastor is.
Answer
Usually the Pastor/Preacher of the church lets you know what to call them. Most Baptist Pastor/Preacher will correct you or suggest that you call them one or the other, as far as I know, I have never heard one being called Minister or Brother by a congregation member. Now if you are also a Pastor/Preacher or another one is speaking to one, they usually call each other Brother.
To clarify on the one above:
I can't speak for churches and congregations in other places, but here in the south, it is extremely common for the congregation to call their mininster "Brother Joe". Actually, I have never even heard any member of a congregation to address or to refer to their minister as anything but "Brother Joe", especially with Baptist, Pentecostal, non-denominational, among others.
As for addressing or referring to them as "Doctor", there are quite a large number of ministers who do have a Ph.D in ministry/theology, and it is quite common to address and refer to them as "Doctor Smith".
Furthermore, "Reverend" is often thought by many to be reserved for God and Jesus, since they are the only ones to actually be revered.

How to Address envelope when husband and wife are both doctors?
How about "Drs. John and Jane Doe"?
Instead of "Mr." you will address a doctor as "Dr.".
If the doctors are a married couple as you suggest then the proper form would be Drs. ( Jones or whatever their name is) however, if both doctors although married, each use their own name then the proper way is to each send them their own invitation.
When both husband and wife are identically degreed, use Drs. Jane and John Doe or The Doctors Doe (remembering that the husbands first name must be placed next to the surname). In the case of a married couple and the wife is a doctor the title should read Dr. Jane Doe and Mr. John Doe or Dr. Jane and Mr. John Doe. If the husband is the doctor, the correct title would be Dr. and Mrs. John Doe. Individuals with a PhD. are not generally noted in formal addressing unless they are a medical doctor, in which case Dr. is used. If the wife of a doctor is retaining her maiden name and she is NOT a doctor herself, the degreed name is placed first; Dr. John Doe and Ms. Jane Smith.

Don't second-guess this situation. Many men "aren't there mentally". For example: Years ago my girlfriend went out with her friends (a rarity) and had 3 children. She asked her husband to look after those 3 kids. When she got home, one was playing out on a quiet street, the other was digging up the backyard and she was frantic looking for her 3 year old daughter. She found her fast asleep in her bed (her father hadn't had the brains to put her there either.) For some reason most men feel the rearing of children is up to the woman. Where they ever get these ideas from is beyond me. Let's just say for now your husband is pure darn lazy like most husbands! When I go away I feel it's always up to me to call and vice-versa with my husband. Most people do this, so you phone him. I am sure things are alright and he's wondering why he hasn't heard from you. So go pick up that phone and call him! Good luck Marcy

How do you properly address an envelope to a county executive?
Guessing that your question refers to someone holding a position, or an elected post within the county government, it is most proper to address an envelope and letter with the position holder's title first. 'County Assessor', 'Public Works Administrator', 'Mayor', etc... always come before the person's first and last names in correspondence.
In some regions and areas, the mayor is addressed as 'The Honorable...'. You can always call his or her secretary and ask what the preferred method is. Don't forget other titles that may be involved, such as Dr., Reverend, Professor, etc... and make sure you have the correct spelling of the names involved.
If she has her husband's last name, just Mr & Mrs as usual. Her GS status or job title do not aaply to social situations .If the lady uses her maiden name, address her first as Ms., then her husband below as Mr.
