Church Ministry Leader Role Descriptions

Local Church Roles Descriptions

These Role Descriptions were compiled by Adsafe to demonstrate the inclusion of Safeguarding responsibilities. If everyone in the church understands how they can help keep children and vulnerable adults safe it will build a shared understanding of expectations.

You and your church board can adapt these descriptions to be relevant to your local church.  These role descriptions are compiled from a variety of sources, including the brochures originally produced by the Personal Ministries, Sabbath School, and Youth Departments.
