leadership

Minister

The Minister is appointed by the Church to serve the Church community as the spiritual leader through preaching and teaching God's Word, administering the Sacraments i.e. the Lord's Supper and baptism and attending to the pastoral needs of those in the Church community and the community the Church serves. (although each of these roles will also be carried out by others in the Church community).

Deacons

Deacons are called (by election) by the Church Membership from the Church Membership to serve the Church community by supporting the Minister. They will also evaluate and recommend major matters to be brought to the entire congregation for vote.

In addition to these general duties they may also have specific roles such as Secretary and Treasurer.
