The department also provides technical support to other ministry events throughout the year.Bible Instructor

The church Safety Officer’s primary responsibility is to protect people and property. This requires a team effort on the part of church pastors, elders, and deacons; Sabbath School and activity leaders; the safety committee; the church board, and ultimately church workers, volunteers, and membersBuilding Committee
A church building committee, also known as a steering committee, oversees different areas of a building project as defined by the ministry and leadership of the church. Building committees have many responsibilities and duties, but their importance lies in these three critical aspects of construction projects:Identifying your needs: Effective building committees evaluate the needs for new construction, renovation, or remodeling projects and how these align with the church’s vision and mission.
Planning to address these needs: Once the needs are identified, this committee focuses on planning everything that needs to be agreed upon before the project begins. They’ll interview contractors, architects, building managers, and other key parties. They’ll also report to the congregation and establish clear communication channels to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Overseeing project completion: Most building project details fall on the building committee. The main part of committee members is keeping everyone informed of progress and setbacks and monitoring the project to ensure it stays within what’s been agreed upon by all the parties involved. Should anything jeopardize the project, it’s the committee’s job to oversee the consequences and refer to the other committees for the next steps.
