Protestant clergy

Non-Catholic church leaders

Protestant clergy are the ordained religious leaders of Protestant Christian denominations—ministers, pastors, priests, and preachers who lead congregations and perform religious duties.

Unlike Catholic clergy, Protestant clergy may generally marry and, in many denominations, include women.

The Protestant clergy of the town organized an interfaith service.
