How will a transitioned church’s finances be managed?
In addition to elders who oversee doctrine, direction, and discipline, each Harvest Bible Chapel has individuals that serve as deacons. The elders choose deacons whose focus is on the church’s finances, facilities, and benevolence—ensuring that the elders are free to focus on doctrine, direction, and discipline. The deacons serve the elders in this role and are under the authority of the Elder Board. As with elders, deacon selections are drawn from the congregation, and those who appear to be biblically qualified for these positions will be approached.
