Currently, there are five people who serve on Liberty’s Board of Directors and Trustees. Each of Liberty’s directors are elders with some having more than 10 years of experience as elders. Two of the directors/elders serve on the NCMI team with which we partner.

1 Timothy 5:17 The elders who direct the affairs of the church ...(NIV)

The Biblical view of governance and leadership is that elders direct the affairs of the church. Therefore all directors from a biblical point of view, need to be Elders. This also means directors require the biblical qualification of eldership in order to serve the church as a director.

Elders/Directors are Pastors

1 Peter 5:1-2 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds {poimainō} of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers-not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; (NIV)

Pastor and Elder are used interchangeably throughout the scripture. If a person is an elder in a church they are also a pastor biblically. Therefore, all directors are elders/pastors.

The Chairman of Liberty Church produces a budget near the end of each year identifying all projected church incomes and expenses (including salaries and accompanying deductions) for the upcoming year.

The budget is set in harmony with Liberty’s Statement of Purpose: “to advance and teach the religious tenets, observances and culture associated with Christian Evangelical Faith.” The budget is presented to Liberty’s Board of Directors and Trustees for approval by all of its directors. After the budget is approved, only expenses that fall within the confines of the budget are allowed. If it becomes necessary to spend outside of the budget’s limitations, ratification (approval) of each additional expenditure must be obtained from all of the board’s directors before the expenditure is permitted.

Each Sunday, tithes and offerings received by Liberty Church are counted and documented by a member of Liberty’s Collections team. This member then forwards the collections to a person who will deposit the funds but who is not involved in the initial counting of the collection.

Once the deposit have been made the person depositing the money forwards the deposit slips & documents to the person responsible for accounts. This person is responsible for reconciling all deposit slips and collections documents. Once this is done all the documentation is forwarded to a bookkeeper for producing all the necessary accounting and reports.

Liberty’s yearly financial report is presented to its Board of Directors and Trustees for review when the church’s yearly budget is reviewed and approved. The financial report can be examined by going to the CRA website, http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/menu-eng.html, and initiating a search for Liberty Church.
