Church like any Organisation has the Council conferred with the duty to run the Church. Church Council is made up of adult members of the Church. These adult members are elected to work with the Pastor for one or two years. Members of Council run for a maximum of two years, and any person that has finished the term of two years is replaced through election of a new person.
In the Foursquare Gospel Church, the
Church is classified into (1) Chartered
Church and (2) Non-Chartered Church.
Chartered Church has Council, while non-chartered Church has
Advisory Board.
Advisory Board holds meeting from
time to time with the Pastor. The Members advise the Pastor what necessary
things to do to make the Church grow numerically, spiritually and financially.
Qualification for election into Council or Advisory Board:
