It is important for every partner of a growing local church to have realistic expectations about their relationship with their Pastors. Many people who come from a smaller church setting may expect to become personal and close friends with their Pastors and receive personal attention from them during a time of need. But as a church grows, that is not possible (See Acts 6), and it becomes important that mature believers understand this and see how team leadership works. Team is needed in order to look after the body effectively.
