The Board and the Pastor

[Sherri]

We have a Deacon Board. They are consultants on all things financial, but not spiritual. Those things are left up to the Pastoral Staff.

We have a plurality of elders and the pastor is a an elder on the board. We also have deacons who handle the more 'daily' administration of the church's business.

Runs very biblically and very well.

You're correct, RD. The "one man show" is really not a Biblical pattern. Paul sent Titus through Crete to "ordain elders" in the churches.

Much of the division and infighting that we have within the Apostolic movement stems from the jealousy and embittered spirits these "one man operations" create.

That is how it should be done.
