Dear: Church Council Leader
These jobs descriptions are based on the United Methodist Book of Discline. This booklet makes suggestions based on twelve areas of ministry: Pastor, Church Council Chairperson. Council Secretary, Nomination and Leadership Commuttee, Staff-Parish Relation Commuttee, Finance Commuttee includes the Chairperson, the Treasurer, and the Financeial Secretary, Whorship Commuttee, Education Commuttee and the Board of Trustees.
One goal I encourage is committing yourselves AS A CHURCH to an EVERY MEMBER WITH A MINISTRY mindset.
That may be a big dream, but surely it is a dream God would honor as we prayerfull seek God. Only our prayerful obedience to Christ will help this to happen, let's pray to that end.
As A United Methodist Church
We Have a Mission
Why does the Church exist? According to Matthew's Gospel, the risen Christ made it clear: "God therefor and make disciples of all nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you" ( Matthew 28:19-20)
Based on this " Great Commission" our United Methodist Church has stated its purpose: " The Mission of the Church is make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Local Churches provide the most significant arena through which disciple-making occurs" (From The Book of Discipline of The United methodist Church-2008, p.87.
