The Work Of The Church Officer

Previously published as: Church officers at work. 1977.

Guidebook for Church Leaders and Offi cers was published to assist leaders in the ministry who need assistance in the daily operations of church administration. Dr. Mercer believes that leaders (male or female) who enter the ministry should be fully equipped in the unity of faith with knowledge of kingdom principles to fully operate in the body of Christ. She believes that a church working together is successful when members understand their roles and responsibilities. Finally, Dr. Mercer believes that communication between church leaders and officers is the key component in doing a job well for the Lord.

Job descriptions are suggested in this manual for workers in the church and Sunday School. Duties in Christian living and service are provided.

"Selected to Serve" is a user-friendly basic text for Presbyterian officer training. It covers a variety of topics, such as the call to serve as an officer, questions officers often ask, various sections of the Presbyterian Book of Order, ordination vows, ethics of church officers, and guidelines for growing a church.
