Our Structure
New Beginnings Church of Trade, Tennessee is pastor led, deacon served, committee operated, and congregationally approved. By doing so, our desire is to follow God’s plan for His best and His blessing.
Pastor Led
As God calls men who live out the biblical qualifications of pastor to provide leadership for the church. The pastor’s role is to edify the saints through:
-
-
- Accurate teaching of God’s Word
- Leading, equipping and mobilizing members for ministry
- Shepherding, protecting and nurturing the flock so that the church functions as a healthy and unified body
-
1 Peter 5: 1-4; Acts 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:1-6; Titus 1:5-9; Hebrews 13:7, 17
Deacon Served
Through the affirmation of the pastor and the church, men are chosen whose lives exemplify the Biblical qualifications for the role of deacon. Deacons are appointed primarily for the purpose of helping the church by freeing the pastors to prepare to teach, to lead and shepherd. They keep the body clear of anything that would prevent it from functioning in a healthy way. They resolve problems, meet needs, and minister to the church.
Acts 6:1-7; 1 Timothy 3: 8-13; Philippians 1:1
Committee Operated
Ephesians 4 teaches that the members of the church are to perform the work of the ministry. The Bible says much about commitment and operating in harmony with others of common commitment. We seek to engage members in the areas of their spiritual giftedness.
1 Corinthians 12 and 1 Corinthians 13
Congregationally Approved
The congregation invests trust in the leadership of the church to make a multitude of operating decisions. The leadership, together with the affirmation of the congregation, approves major decisions affecting the direction of the church. All official actions of the church, its officers, employees and agents are subject to the discretion of the membership.
Acts 1:26, Acts 6:1-3; Acts 15:22; 1 Corinthians 5:1-5
