Pastor's Council
"The role of the Pastor’s Council is intended to offer these benefits to the church:
(a) Results in the ability of the faith family to rely on the continuity, wise counsel, and sound judgment of Godly lay leaders who, by way of consensual agreement, advise the Senior Pastor on behalf of the membership.
(b) Results in a forum whereby the Senior Pastor can consult with and receive guidance from lay leaders, chosen by the congregation, regarding the mission, vision, and direction of the church.
(c) Results in an avenue of accountability and support for the Senior Pastor.
(d) Results in the fiduciary agency of corporate governance. The Council shall assume the responsibility of a Board of Directors under the laws of the State of Tennessee and of the United States, as well as any other such rights and responsibilities that accrue thereunto."
