Module 14: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS IN THE
REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF
GOD
In this module, we want to provide general background information about all the various departments existing in a local assembly of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, anywhere. The functions of the departments, purpose and mode of operations are also enumerated. The essential spiritual, psychological and mental qualifications required to satisfactorily work in any of these departments and be fulfilled are equally explained.
It is hoped that every intending worker that goes through this module will be able, through the help of the Holy Spirit, make informed decisions concerning where best to apply his/her energy, time and other resources in the service of our living God, Amen.
OVERVIEW
An organisation can be defined as a system of coordinated activities involving people or a group of people who work together to achieve common goal through a hierarchy of authority and division of responsibilities.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God is a model organisation having clearly defined goals and striving consistently to actualise these goals via a well-structured hierarchy of authority, pyramid of administration and equitable division of labour.
Thus, any intending worker in the church is obliged to understand the RCCG in terms of Vision, Administrative Structure, Organogram, Hierarchy of authority, Activities and how all these synergize to achieving a common goal.
INTRODUCTION
“And he gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; . . . for the perfecting of the saints . . .” Ephes. 4:11-13, 1Cor.12:27-28.
The church is the body of Christ. It is a divine, eternal organisation with a divine goal. It is a unified body, irrespective of denomination and nomenclature. Administrative systems and responsibilities may differ, but the goals must be the same for all. Else, it is no longer a member of the body of Christ.
In the Body of Christ, division of labour, responsibilities and administration is strictly a matter of calling. A CALLING is a line of duty to which an individual has been assigned and for which he will be rewarded after accountability.
The Scripture, which is the working manual of the body of Christ, categorises the various types of calling as: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Miracles, Healings, Helps, Government, and Diversity of tongues etc – Romans 12:4-8
Every calling is enabled and backed by a measure of divine ability or grace, otherwise called spiritual gifts. One may have a single or multiple calling – depending on his/her measure of grace.
Through these callings, the Church is managed for an enforcement of divine intentions, actualisation of divine mandates and perpetuation of the ministry.
