Can A Pastor Ordain Another Pastor

A pastor is a minister of the Christian Church who is responsible for the spiritual welfare of a local congregation. In some denominations, pastors have authority to ordain others as pastors, but in other denominations this is not the case.

ORDAINED: The noun ordained means to invest with ministerial or sacerdotal authority, or to appoint by divine sanction.

Ordination is the process of being set apart for a particular work or ministry. A person who has been ordained is called an ordained minister, elder or priest (depending on their gender).

For example, a pastor may have been ordained by his/her denomination to preach the word of God and lead in worship and prayer as well as teach at church.

A pastor has the authority and responsibility for the care of a local church congregation. As such, a pastor has the authority and responsibility to ordain another pastor.

A pastor is a priest who leads a congregation. As such, pastors are ordained ministers and have the authority to ordain another pastor. By definition, an ordained minister is one who has been set apart by God and given a specific responsibility or assignment by God. This assignment can include: serving as head of an organization; serving as leader or teacher in a church setting; teaching or preaching the word of God to others; leading worship services at church; performing baptisms on behalf of someone else (such as parents who wish their baby would be baptized).

A person may become a pastor simply by being designated so by his/her followers or superiors within his/her religious group (ecclesia). In this case, he/she does not necessarily need any official credentials before accepting leadership responsibilities over the people under him/her care–though some organizations do require certification from accredited schools before allowing someone into ministry positions within their ranks (i.e., seminaries).

In many denominations it is customary for an ordained minister (usually a pastor) to preside at an ordination service and lay hands on the person being ordained.

In many denominations it is customary for an ordained minister (usually a pastor) to preside at an ordination service and lay hands on the person being ordained. This takes place in a church setting, where the congregation can attend and witness the ordination ceremony.

Whether a person becomes a pastor immediately upon being ordained depends upon the denomination in which they are ordained.

In some denominations, ordination is the first step in becoming a pastor. In other denominations, it takes more time to become a pastor after ordination (for example, some denominations require that you serve as an associate pastor for three years). In still others, becoming a minister might not require any specific education or training at all; there may be no requirements for ordination other than having been baptized and accepted into membership by the church community.

Some denominations ordain people without making them pastors at all.

Some denominations ordain people without making them pastors at all. For example, the Anglican church in England ordains priests and deacons, but does not make them pastors. The Anglican church also has a history of denying leadership roles to women. In some cases, this could mean that even though you’ve been ordained by your denomination and have been serving as a pastor for years, you’re still technically not considered a pastor (or at least not an equal to male clergy).

Yes, A Pastor Can Ordain Another Pastor

You can be a pastor and still ordain another pastor. There is no requirement to be a pastor in order to ordain someone else. You may want to do this for the sake of compatibility, but it is not necessary that you have any kind of relationship with them before you begin the process. If they are not a member of your church then they must first become one through baptism before they are eligible for ordination.

You may find yourself wondering if being able to ordain other pastors gives me more power than other people who do not have that ability? The answer is no! All pastors do not have the same amount of authority over others because there is only one person who has ultimate authority over all things: God Himself (Matthew 28:18). Therefore, everyone should strive toward following His Word rather than their own desires or opinions about what makes sense based on what could happen instead.”
