This pastor had an open-door policy when he was in the office and was excellent at hospital visitation. In the small town, this combination is often effective. Another minister in a small town allots two hours each week to shop at the grocery store. He deliberately goes by himself at the busiest time of the week. He is making himself accessible to people who might not make an appointment with him.
Some folks define accessibility as personality.
The amount of time the pastor spends in personal ministry is irrelevant. A warm smile, a genuine listening ear, and a firm handshake are the true test. Those come easy for some pastors. For others, they are more difficult than second-year Hebrew. But the pastor not known as Mr. Personality can compensate.
