Just like in the case of voting for a new member, voting for a new pastor presents a unique opportunity for teaching and instruction. One useful means of instructing the congregation on the office of pastor is to hold an installation service or to set apart a specific time within the service to publicly recognize the appointment of a new elder(s). Similarly, when a church votes in a new pastor, the church is publicly testifying to what they believe about ministry and what it means to be a shepherd of God's flock. Each time a congregation votes in a new member, the church is demonstrating what they believe about the gospel and what it means to be a Christian.
