The pastor shares the responsibility of maintaining the membership roll with which official?

• A. Church Treasurer
• B. Elder
• C. Secretary
• D. Deacon

Answer: (A)

Maintaining the membership roll is a joint effort that ties pastoral oversight to the church’s administrative and financial records. The pastor provides spiritual leadership and approves membership changes, while the Church Treasurer is the officer responsible for keeping church records and finances accurate. By sharing this duty, the church ensures the roster stays up to date for pastoral care, reporting, benevolence, and stewardship purposes, and that changes to membership are reflected in financial and administrative records as well. The secretary, elder, and deacon play important roles in governance and pastoral work, but in this structure the treasurer is the official who formally co-manages the membership roll with the pastor.
