    The role of the other elders is the same as the pastor...except they all have full time jobs and don't prepare the sermon the majority of the time (but they do when he is not there).
    In regards to the "call to FT ministry", besides the desire to want to be an elder, and meeting the qualifications outlined in Scripture, I see nothing else in regards to a "call" that some speak of, which sounds quite mystical. All the elders in our church desired to be so, they meet the requirements, one gets paid full time and the others receive no compensation. I don't agree with that, but it is what it is in today's Church.
