 Qualified Pastor:
            
            
             
            
            
             
            - - 
            Every head pastor that is employed in a church should minimally have a seminary master's degree, so that he is 
            fully trained in the Scriptures and fully trained in how to properly lead a church. 
             
            - - Employing a head pastor 
            with insufficient formal academic training substantially puts your church into risk of stagnating in 
            spiritual growth, learning erroneous doctrines, and potentially self-destructing. 
             
            - - Youth pastors should 
            minimally have a Bible college bachelor's degree. 
             
            - - Pastors who lack this formal academic training 
            should be requested and facilitated by your church to work on completing it. 
               
            (see 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
