Church Politics
We have seen some of the worst behavior possible at church meetings – Robert’s Rules, endless discussions about trivial matters, and arguments that approach physical violence. What is the church doing about this inevitable issue?
- SEC tries to implement the church model taught in the New Testament.
- Elders run the church. Elders consist of the pastors and people who have demonstrated maturity and wisdom along with a solid faith. Elders also serve on the trustee board along with others who have been appointed to that board.
- Elders and Trustees operate by consensus and, where necessary, present the results to the congregation for their affirmation.
