Answer: (D)

The Church and Pastor's Council provides well-rounded support to the pastor across all major areas of ministry. In the spiritual realm, the council helps with shepherding, guidance on preaching and teaching, pastoral care, and ensuring doctrinal integrity and church discipline when needed. In financial matters, the council assists with budgeting, stewardship, resource planning, and accountability to the congregation, helping the pastor steward the church’s resources wisely. In physical matters, the council oversees property, facilities, maintenance, and safety, coordinating needs and improvements for the church’s environment and operations. Because the council is meant to assist the pastor in leading the church in every facet of ministry, all three areas—spiritual, financial, and physical—are included.
