Stephen, have you spoken directly to the pastor? I get the sense that his pride will override his spirit, but you must take that step and do it soon. Next, do not initiate discussion with others. If someone asks if there is a problem, speak very carefully and cautiously. Like it or not, this man is the pastor. Undermining him, even though he may be wrong, will harm more than help.
Give him time to consider your position. Pray without ceasing that God will soften him. If things appear to be unchanged over a reasonable time, then for your family's sake, you must leave.
May God show His clear will to you, Brother!
