The Board of Stewards

Stewards serve as advisers to the pastor. A Steward assists the pastor in all administrative capacities, helping to implement courses of action to facilitate decision-making.

  • Seek the needy and distressed in order to relieve and comfort them.
  • Serve as spiritual lay leaders of the church.
  • Register all baptisms, marriages, and deaths within the congregation.
  • Survey the membership to determine the extent of each member's financial support, attended the regular means of grace, and support of the various benevolent enterprises of the church.
