What is the Admin Team's role?

What is the Admin Team's role?

The Liberty Heights Church Administration Team (“Admin Team”) deals with the accountability, encouragement, and oversight of all professional staff matters, as well as the accountability and oversight in all matters pertaining to financial integrity and stewardship. The Admin Team works in harmony with the Pastoral Leadership Team to provide oversight, guidance, and stewardship regarding the use and maintenance of all LHC properties and facilities.  

The Admin Team deals directly with the response and solution concerning any conduct, which threatens the reputation and integrity of the ministry of LHC. They work in unison with the Pastoral Leadership Team to set salary structures and policy for all employees of the church after an annual performance review is completed. Additionally, they work in unison with the Pastoral Leadership Team to establish yearly budgets, and ensure responsible conduct of those budgets. They ensure the auditing procedures and financial reputation and integrity of LHC. They are also authorized to hire candidates for open positions as approved by the congregation in the annual church budget.

The Admin Team represents the church in legal matters regarding the business affairs of the church. This includes, but is not be limited to, granting access to church records and financial statements to those within active membership. The Admin Team recommends for church approval a church clerk (currently Lena Williamson) who serves as the official recorder of all minutes from Church Family Conferences as well as being responsible for management of records regarding membership, ordination, baptism and other assigned documentation from the Admin Team or Pastoral Staff.  Out-of-budget expenses require the majority approval of the Admin Team.  

The Admin Team currently consists of seven active members (LHC By-Laws require at least five active members). The Admin Team is composed of Church Members in good standing, both men and women, who have displayed a healthy combination of leadership skills, financial experience, and a solid faith foundation. The members of the Admin Team recommend replacements to their team as needed (typically at the end of each calendar year). After church confirmation, Admin Team members serve three-year terms with at least two members of the team rotating off each year. Team Members may serve more than one term, but must allow a lapse of one year’s activities. They may be asked to stay on for limited periods of time during special needs.

Presently, LHC’s Lead Pastor, Brad Cunningham, leads the Administration Team in areas related to Personnel. LHC’s Pastor of Administration, Chris Anderson, leads the Administration Team in areas related to Finances & Facilities. Neither pastors are voting members of the team.
