Hey Holly, if you want I'll pick you up a copy of New Hope's "Foundations of Christian Doctrines and Church Life" It's among other things everything about how a church should run and the exact scripture on why. It's pretty straight forward and almost reads like a set of stereo instructions for Christianity.. but it's all so Bible based with the scripture printed right there next to every belief or claim so there's allmost no OPINION involved.
I imagine that the section on church government will clear allot up for you. All the scripture is right there in front of you so you can see exactly what Paul says about what the different positions mean, why they are there and who should fill them.. it talks about specific gifts and specific ministries and exactly how the Bible says they are to function in harmony with the local church leadership.
Like I said, very much like stereo instructions, but it seems like plain English and clarity is what is needed in a time like this.
So let me know, I'll drive it out to ya even. :) Happy New Year. Peace in Christ -Ryan
