Questions and Answers
QUESTION: Should I be using my Local Church Elners for contacting new PM's
and for baptismal counselings?
I've heard this should not be
done, but I'd like to know for sure.
ANSWER:
Local Church Elders should not be used to contact new PM's, nor
should they be used for baptismal counselings. Only in an emer
gency situation would there be an exception.
Church Pastors should make most first contacts and conduct most
baptismal counselings themselves. Associate and Assistant Pas
tors should be used for some of the intermediate and follow-up
visits if the Pastor does not have time.
Along the same line, the Church Pastor should also make all
serious problem visits and may use Associate or Assistant Pastors
to follow up.
Local Church Elders should be used for anointings and encourag
ing-type visits, especially to the sick, elderly and widows,
besides hospitality in their own homes, and social-type visits to
help bring people along.
Be sure to remember that a Local Church Elder has a Christian
responsibility to his employer to be a light and to set an exam
ple of giving his best to the job. Do not make him cut into that
responsibility.
��
Also, remember not to gobble up an LCE's time that he needs to
spend with his family. He needs to be able to set a right example
in that area as well.
QUESTION: Should Local Church Elders pay third tithe?
ANSWER:
Local Church Elders do incur certain expenses in serving the con
gregation. Because of their responsibilities and the expenses
involved in travel, etc., Mr. Armstrong has decided that Local
Church Elders� not required to pay third tithe, unless they
� being reimbursed for their expenses.
