Council Members
In a Lutheran church, the council serves as the elected leadership body that helps guide the life and ministry of the congregation. Council members work alongside the pastor to provide spiritual and practical oversight, ensuring that the mission of the church is carried out faithfully.
Their responsibilities typically include:
-
Supporting worship, discipleship, and outreach through prayer and planning
-
Overseeing budgets, finances, and stewardship of resources
-
Caring for the facilities and ensuring they are maintained for ministry use
-
Listening to the congregation and representing the needs and ideas of members
-
Making decisions that help the church remain focused on its mission of proclaiming the gospel and serving the community
Council members are not just administrators, but partners in ministry. They are called to model Christian service, encourage the congregation in its work, and keep the church centered on Christ in all decisions.
