That’s a red flag for me, i.e., calling a psstor by his first name. Too familiar and disrespectful. Really? Pastor Skippy?

I don’t know. It depends on the context and setting.

Those who know him intimately call him “Pastor Keith.” That’s fine with me.

Isn’t it “Pope Francis” after all?

I always address my pastor as "Pastor (Last name here)" in the church and at church functions.

However he is addressed by childhood nickname when he and his are at our monthly family get together. Technically he is not family but since our families have known each other for four generations now it is a pretty slim technicality.
