Bylaws Article III. Organizational Structure – Local Churches 4. Operate according to the International Pentecostal Holiness Church Manual 5. Support the ministries and financial guidelines of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church 6. Acknowledge our interdependence D. Local Church Organizational Structure The International Pentecostal Holiness Church recognizes and embraces multiple models for local church leadership and organizational structure. While every member of the church has ministry gifts that contribute to the accomplishment of the church’s mission/vision, the New Testament affirms elders and deacons as specific ministry leaders. Also, the Administrative Council exists to meet the contemporary organizational needs in the local church. Local church structure should include elders, deacons, and the Administrative Council. The International Pentecostal Holiness Church recognizes that men and women may serve in these offices and ministries. 1. Standard Model of Organizational Structure a. Unless a church has received approval from its Conference for an alternate model, the following organizational structure is prescribed for Member Churches. b. Local Church Officials 1) Senior Pastor a) Overview (1) The International Pentecostal Holiness Church acknowledges the Senior Pastor, whether male or female, as God’s appointed leader of the local church. As such, the Senior Pastor is vitally important in the expansion of the kingdom of God and the promotion of church growth in the local congregation. 135
Bylaws Article III. Organizational Structure – Local Churches (2) In local churches with a plurality of elders, the Conference-appointed Senior Pastor is senior elder of the eldership. (3) Subject to the discretion of the Local Church Administrative Council, a Senior Pastor may also be referred to as the Lead Pastor or Senior Elder. The terms Senior Pastor, Lead Pastor, and Senior Elder shall be considered interchangeable. (4) The methods of pastoral appointment are provided in Section D. of Article II. b) The Authority and Duties of the Senior Pastor (1) The Senior Pastor’s first concerns shall be to live a worshipful, biblical lifestyle out of which he preaches God’s Word, leads in the nurture of believers, wins the lost to Christ, and leads in worship. While looking after the spiritual welfare of the church, the Senior Pastor should oversee and participate in visitation ministries, the administration of the ordinances of the church, and expansion of the influence of the church in the community, city, or area. (2) The Senior Pastor shall lead believers to discover and develop the ministry gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives so they can fulfill their ministries in the body of Christ. Special emphasis shall be given to training the believers in personal soul winning (Ephesians 4:12). (3) The Senior Pastor shall lead the church in extension (starting new churches) and bridging (cross-cultural) evangelism in cooperation with the Conference evangelism program. 136
