Ministerial Offices of the Church
The Ministerial Offices of the Church provide competent, professional leadership to the entire church in key areas. Each Office is headed by a Director, who is the head of his appointed office, and determines the projects, programs and initiatives that each respective office will engage in. Each Director reports to the Vicar-General of the Church, who oversees Church operations and co-ordinates the efforts of the Offices, to ensure cohesive and effective execution.
Each director was selected by the College of Bishops, and appointed personally by the Archbishop-Metropolitan. Directors are selected for a particular office due to their experience, education, skills and unique pastoral background.
