Auxiliaries in Action
Pastors' Aide Ministry
Our Pastor’s Aide Department’s, which is led by its President, Deaconess Latoya Innocent, main focus is to pray for the needs of the pastors and their families. A major role of the department is to provide support to the pastors of the church and their families in all areas of their lives, including but not limited to, prayer, encouragement, or other actions expressing love and gratitude. The department consists of a small group of members of the church that take on a detailed list of duties to complete their job.
Supporting the Pastor and the Mission of the Church
Typically, the role of the committee is to provide support, list to the pastor’s concerns and provide resources, as needed to fulfill the mission of the church. From time-to-time, they may also act as a liaison with other congregational officials, particularly, if there is conflict within the church community over a clergy person’s responsibilities as it relates to the ministry’s outreach.
Assist First Family
The Pastor’s Aide Department also assists the pastors with various needs, in a moral, spiritual, and financial sense. They keep track of the pastor’s birthdays, and other special anniversaries, and may plan activities or parties for these events. They coordinate and oversee special activities for holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Pastor’s Appreciation Day. In essence, they assist the pastors in whatever needs they may need to best meet the goals for serving the church.
