Possibly you are correct, but I see Paul as more of a transient evangelist or missionary than as a resident elder/pastor/priest, but there is no question that at the time reported he was preaching to the Church.  Seems funny that when he gives details as to why the saints come together it is never to hear a sermon.

the coming together of the Saints.  So far I have found some
studying, some singing, some eating, some communion, some
edifying.  What I haven't found is the sermon, tithing, or the
building fund.
    

Here's a passage for the sermon.

Acts 20:7-9
(7) And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to 
break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and 
continued his speech until midnight.
(8) And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were 
gathered together.
(9) And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being 
fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with 
sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
