I apparently very badly need to teach my pastors how to shoot video
they were doing a small group leader training video. They asked me to edit it together. They sent me a video and this is a screen shot of what it looks like
we have multiple pastors, but with different roles, they each have an equal leadership role
the worship arts director isn't a pastor either
but he is paid staff
we have a teaching pastor, an executive pastor (deals with business related side of things), a site pastor for saratoga, a youth ministries director (who I think is unpaid as well) and a couple of unpaid pastoral interns
we also have people that volunteer for setup, teardown, serving communion, counting team (counting the offering), running lyrics. And then we have more specialized volunteers for stuff like running sound, producing videos and photographs, running the church website, etc
our church is autonomous, but also part of a network of churches that provide accountability to each other
oh, I also forgot, we have a level of volunteers under the pastors and directors that are small group leaders
which is funny that I forgot about them since they are the ones the training video I was just making are for
they lead our small groups which are generally 10 to 20 people a piece, typically more towards 10 or 12
and small group leaders can be guys or girls
often a husband and wife team
but not always
personally, I'm one of the three sound guys, one of the two admin's for the church's online community, one of the photographers and one of the video guys
there are 3 or 4 other photographers and 4 or 5 other video guys, though only 3 of us do the more creative video stuff
a few of them just do weekly filming of sermons
Acts29 is the name of the network my church is part of
and our teaching pastor is actually the North East coordinator for them
but the pastors (paid or unpaid I believe) and maybe the worship arts director make up the elders of the church. We don't have deacons. Small group leaders basically serve the equivalent role though
I don't know what any of those are, but the sound of Trinitarian sounds about right. I assume that is the belief in the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost(Spirit)
@AJHenderson you would be surprised how often I am looking through changes and stuff for the Monetary Judgment system we use to keep track of Civil Judgments for Collection companies and the like
Another answer has postulated "yes", and there is a sense in which there are words she uses that can be construed that way.

It isn't until you put all the pieces together that you see the pieces fit in a different puzzle.
Agglomeration of mistakes or context...
You appear to be quoting something, though you have not bothered to tell us what. You appear to disagree with whatever it is you're quoting. I'm not sure what you intend to achieve by this post. — TRiG29 secs ago
^ No doubt I could find out easily enough if I cared, but I really really don't.
+1 for error image; I am not really fond of "The Creation of Adam" (it's not Calvinistic! :-) and it does not fit the "non-human figure" aspect (not that such is critical). — Paul A. ClaytonMay 24 '13 at 16:31
What on Earth is non-Calvinistic about the Creation of Adam?
... Actually, don't bother answering that. I'll ask it on the site proper.
Are we allowed to call any group a cult and imply that they don't have salvation...or their faith isn't good enough and are going to hell?
