The idea that any of that is in the pastor's job description is itself not biblical.
And the idea of one pastor leading (becomes hard not to "lord" when that happens) isn't really biblical either. But we'll save that one for another day.

No one believes that every believer is a royal priest stronger than I.
And I also preach that the pastor usually isn't even the most spiritual one in the local assembly. Nevertheless, he is the head of that assembly. And it is his job to teach, including modesty. Some congregations NEED a more structured environ than others. I detest pulpit bullies and those who think they are the reincarnation of the OT priest and prophet combined.
Nevertheless, it is still his job to shepherd, and to lead. That does include teachings of modesty and all that entails.
