Abstract: Ministry, particularly in Pentecostal churches, is an emotionally demanding and high-pressure vocation. Pentecostal pastors, in particular, are expected to be deeply engaged with their congregations, providing spiritual guidance, counseling, and emotional support. These expectations, often coupled with the administrative responsibilities of leading a church, can result in significant ministerial stress. Stress in the pastoral role can manifest in various forms, including emotional exhaustion, burnout, role ambiguity, and interpersonal conflicts, all of which can negatively impact a pastor's well-being and ministry effectiveness. This study examine emotional intelligence and personality type as predictors of ministerial stress among Pentecostal church pastors in Ibadan Metropolis.
