  Questions a Church needs to ask before calling a pastor:  1. [Do we know what our vision is?]  2. [What does our church expect from the pastor's family?] 3. [As a church, what do we see as a pastor's main duties?] 4. [As a church, how do we describe our church's theology? Do we see ourselves as conservative, moderate or liberal? Are we open to have a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Minister?
