Is there a difference between a Pastor and a Youth Pastor?
A pastor is often an ordained member of the clergy. He or she has the right to use the honorific “Reverend” in front of their name. A youth pastor is sometimes not a member of the clergy, although they certainly can be. A youth pastor focuses on the young people of the church. A pastor is the one on charge of a church community and ministers to everyone. It’s hard to answer because the same title can mean very different things depending on which religious tradition you are referring to. One big example is the title DEACON. It means two very different things to Baptists and Catholics, though both traditions have them!
