Reference: D. A. Carson (For the Love of God, vol. 1, [Crossway: 1998] Nov. 2):

Bishop Dr. Smith is committed to providing spiritual leadership for each member of the church. The congregation will never arrive at the church and find a disorganized worship service.  She will make certain that weekly sermons are presented by experienced and dedicated elders, when she is unavailable and  worship services will be planned ahead of the scheduled time, with the intent to minister to every attendee’s expectations.  However, since the services are directed by God, we will remain available to him, through the direction of the Holy Ghost; which means our planned program is subject to change.

Also as senior pastor, Dr. Smith’s responsibility is to officially interpret biblical scripture for the congregation, so that there will be no confusion.  She is experienced in providing care and counseling to church members and assist them in crisis situations.
