This form has been prepared to assist congregational councils in the evaluation of their pastor’s ministry and the ministry of the congregation.\nThe pastoral ministry is a gift from our Lord Jesus Christ built on a Biblical foundation. This evaluation form regards the pastoral ministry not as a job, but as a role, or more precisely several roles. Each of the roles which encompass the role of the pastoral minister and the gifts, skills, aptitudes and abilities associated therewith, are stated below.\nPASTORAL GIFTS, SKILLS, APTITUDES AND ABILITIES.\nA pastor serving a CALC congregation should be apt and proficient in the following critically essential areas of pastoral ministry:  preaching, worship leadership, teaching, pastoral care, evangelism and outreach.\nPreaching: The pastor should be an apt, engaging and inspiring preacher. His/her preaching should rightly distinguish between the Law and the Gospel in the subject text and reflect the theology of the cross. His/her proclamation should reflect adequate exegetical preparation and is delivered in an appropriate and effective way.\nTeaching: The pastor should be an apt, engaging and inspiring teacher. He/she should be able to conduct adult and youth Bible study and Christian education classes, Confirmation classes. His/her teaching should be undergirded by the Theology of the Cross.\nIt is critical that pastors have a solid biblical foundation and can apply the truth of Scripture to life in teaching and preaching. God's Word is given to us to reveal truth, and a personal commitment to the study of the Bible is crucial for the pastor. As part of the Lutheran community we want to know that our pastors understand the Reformation and Lutheran theology as expressed in the Book of Concord.\nIt is important for pastors to have a good grasp of these principles: The five solas of the Reformation: Christ alone, faith alone, scripture alone, grace alone and the cross alone; The proper distinction between Law and Gospel in preaching, teaching and pastoral care; and the ability  to consistently address issues of faith and life without confusion or contradiction.\nWorship Leadership: The pastor should be  an apt, engaging and inspiring worship leader. He/she should be able to conduct contemporary Lutheran and traditional Lutheran worship services. To “conduct worship” is to organize and carry out worship (specifically to take certain roles in worship and coordinate with others to facilitate worship).  He/she should be thoroughly familiar with and able to conduct services of Holy Communion, Services of the Word, a Baptismal service, Service for Affirmation of Baptism (Confirmation); Services for Individual and Corporate Confession and Absolution, Lutheran wedding services, Lutheran funeral services, and the Service of the Word for Healing. He/she should be thoroughly  familiar with the Church/Liturgical Year and how to conduct services during Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, the Sundays After Pentecost through to Christ the King Sunday.\nPastoral Care:  The pastor should be an apt and gentle shepherd of the flock God has entrusted to him/her. Shepherding involves protection, tending to needs, strengthening the weak, encouragement, feeding the flock, making provision, shielding, refreshing, restoring, leading by example to move people on in their pursuit of holiness, comforting and guiding.
