Church service

Leaders of congregations are called bishops; they are employed in their communities in regular jobs. Bishops around the world are asked to lead their congregations in their spare time.

Most members of a congregation share the bishop’s weight of responsibility by serving as teachers, counsellors, leaders of organisations, and clerks. All do so without pay—other than the personal reward they feel as a result of their service. Church members are encouraged to serve beyond their Church affiliation in their communities and for charitable causes.
