Clarity of Identity: Why Pastors Must Know Their Identity in Christ

One of the most important responsibilities of pastors is to provide clarity for their congregations. Congregations need to have clear understandings of their church's mission in the world, how this particular church is going to carry out their mission in their community and what each member's responsibility is within the church's mission. No one in the church should have to guess about what their church is doing and what they, as individual members, need to be doing to make sure that mission is accomplished.
