This thesis examines the extent to which the congregation members' image of God is influenced by the pastor's image of God. Pastors occupy a prominent position within the religious community, and many people regard them as role models in their faith and in their relationship with God. For this reason, pastors bear a heightened responsibility to ensure that their understanding and representation of God accurately reflect reality. In order to make the results measurable, the study first investigates various images of God, including the factors that may give rise to distorted God images, the effects these distortions may have on individuals and their surroundings, and the ways in which a correct understanding of God can be attained. Subsequently, the relationship and interaction between pastor and congregation are analyzed. Based on the synthesis of this information, the empirical research section is developed using a self-designed comparative questionnaire. The research was conducted in five congregations of Szilágysomlyó Reformed Church District: the congregations of Kraszna, Borzás, Varsolc, Szilágysomlyó, and Lecsmér. The primary objective of the study is to determine the degree of correspondence between the responses provided by pastors and those provided by congregation members, as well as to identify the factors that may influence this correspondence. The findings clearly demonstrate that both the length of a pastor's ministry within a congregation and the frequency of believers' participation in congregational activities significantly increase the similarity between the pastor's and the congregation members' images of God.
