Leadership
Multifaceted Leadership
An imperfect system filled with men and women of integrity will function far better than a perfect system filled with men and women who lack integrity. The people we choose are as important as the system we use. Furthermore, the imperfections in any system will stand out larger than life when the system is put to the test.
On a human level, three groups of people direct the ministries of Christ Fellowship Church. Those bodies are the Elders, the Deacons, and the staff.
All church officers must be members of the church. The officers of CFC shall be as follows:
Elder: An Elder will be an overseer of the church. He must have the moral and personal character as given in Titus 1:6-9 (see Elders Page)
The Elders are members of the body who provide general watch, care, and oversight. They continually evaluate the teaching ministry of the church and review major ministry decisions. They use their wisdom, discernment and shepherding gifts to ensure the church remains on a true course Biblically. Scripture indicates that the ultimate decision-making authority in the church rests with the Elders.
Deacon: A Deacon shall seek to determine the spirit of this office as found in Acts 6. He must have the moral and personal character as found in 1 Timothy 3:6-12. (see Deacons page)
The Deacons are members of the church empowered by the Elders to oversee the hands-on expertise which they use to serve the church.
Staff: The staff directs the day-to-day affairs of the ministries of the church.
The Senior Pastor is responsible for leading the church to function as a New Testament Church. The Pastor will lead the congregation, the organizations, and is part of the church staff. The Senior Pastor meets with the Elder Board on a monthly basis. The Church Treasurer shall have the duty of receiving, preserving, and pay out upon receipt of vouchers approved and signed by authorized personnel. Keep an itemized account of all receipts and disbursements and render to the church an itemized report at the business meeting. (see Staff Page)
