Why are pastors wives called First Ladies? The only First Lady is the wife of the President of the US. I find it annoying and obnoxious when preachers wives are called that. Im Presbyterian and our pastors wives are just called Mrs and then their last name.

What is the difference between a pastor and a preacher?

The difference between preacher and pastor is that a preacher is someone who spreads the word of God and does not perform any formal duties for the congregation. But a pastor on the other hand is someone who has a more formal role and is said to oversee the congregation and guide it towards salvation.
