Have you forgotten to count yourself in "whoever"?

If anyone can find the equivalent position description for an elder or a full-time worker please post it.
Failure to find the equivalent hopefully proves the difference. |
Assisting in church financial matters
Overseeing management of all areas of the congregation's ministry
Supporting, overseeing and evaluating congregation staff
Holding regular staff meetings to coordinate ministries
Ensuring church facilities are functioning
Are you saying the elders or full-times don't do any of these? Are they really functioning members of the body?
