'I am not a pastor, the media made me a pastor'- Majid Michel clarifies

Ghanaian actor-turned-evangelist Majid Michel has clarified misconceptions surrounding his religious role, stating that he is not a pastor despite being widely referred to as one by the public and the media.

In an interview shared on X on January 16, 2026, the award-winning actor was asked whether he was still a pastor. Responding to the assumption that he leads a church, Majid firmly corrected the narrative, explaining that he has never been ordained as a pastor and does not hold that title.

He attributed the label to media portrayal rather than personal declaration, stressing that it is a misconception that has followed him for years.

“First of all, I’ve said it so many times, in many places. The media — you people — made me a pastor. It is you people that made me a pastor. I am a teacher of the Word of God. I am not an ordained pastor,” he said.

Majid further revealed that he does not have a church. According to him, his calling is centred on teaching and sharing the Word of God rather than leading a congregation or overseeing a formal ministry.

He emphasised that people should refer to him as a teacher of the Word, not a pastor, in order to avoid misrepresentation.

Majid Michel, who publicly embraced Christianity several years ago, has since been actively involved in evangelism, often sharing sermons and spiritual reflections on social media.

Despite his prominence in faith-based discussions, he maintains that his role is informal and distinct from pastoral leadership.
