Ghanaian actor Majid Michel has finally addressed a long-standing public perception about his life following his departure from the movie spotlight. In a candid clarification, the celebrated actor made it clear that he is not a pastor, contrary to what many media reports and public narratives have suggested over the years.
According to Majid Michel, the label of “pastor” was never one he gave himself. Instead, it gradually emerged through media interpretation and public assumption following his visible Christian transformation and outspoken faith.
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.
Majid Michel’s spiritual journey gained significant attention after he publicly embraced Christianity and began speaking passionately about faith, salvation, and moral living. His sermons at churches, motivational talks, and appearances at Christian gatherings led many to conclude that he had formally entered pastoral ministry.
However, Michel explains that while he is deeply committed to his faith and enjoys sharing spiritual messages, he has never been ordained nor officially taken up the role of pastor.
The actor emphasized that preaching, teaching, or encouraging others spiritually does not automatically make someone a pastor. For him, faith is a personal calling, not a professional title.
“I speak about God because I believe in Him,” he has often implied through past interviews. “But belief and ministry are not the same as holding an office.”
This distinction, he says, was lost in translation as headlines and social media narratives simplified his spiritual expression into a single label.
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, to avoid misrepresentation.
Majid Michel’s statement serves as a reminder that personal identity should be defined by the individual, not assumed by public opinion. By reclaiming his narrative, the actor reinforces an important truth: faith does not require a title, and spirituality does not always come with an office. 
As conversations continue around celebrity faith and public labeling, Michel’s words stand as a powerful correction, simple, direct, and definitive.
