There really is no good term for them... I know what you mean... they don't need a title to define them... they just ARE.. if that makes sense. They typically are recognized as a minister even if no one will give them a license.
I've heard them called "Influencers", "Foundation Saints", "Elders", "Deacons" and a ton of other things.
