¶ 256. In
order to fulfill the mission of the local church, the charge conference may
elect annually a coordinator or ministry group chairperson for any or all of
these areas: Christian unity and interreligious concerns, church and society,
community volunteers, education, evangelism, higher education and campus
ministry, missions, prayer advocacy, religion and race, status and role of
women, stewardship, and worship.
Where desirable, the charge
conference may combine coordinators' or ministry group chairpersons'
assignments. Each coordinator or ministry group chairperson, if elected, shall
work with the church council (or other appropriate body), pastor(s), and other
church leaders to address the needs and opportunities of the particular area,
utilizing all appropriate resources and relationships of the district, annual
conference, and/or general church.
