A local church may organize with one functioning committee, which could be called Executive Council, to serve the business needs of the church. Members of the committee may include the following: Presiding Clerk, Recording Clerk, Treasurer, Pastor(s), and person(s) responsible in the following areas: Spiritual Life, Christian Education, Outreach, Stewards, Youth, Missions, and others as needed.
Those serving on this Executive Council would serve as elders and be a coordinating council. Each person serving in this capacity should be an active member of the meeting. The Executive Council will act as the meeting in interim. The number of trustees appointed should meet legal requirements.
