Watoto Church owes its growth and vision to a Godly and effective structure, where Church governance is carried out by a team of God- fearing men and women.
The leadership is responsible for the general oversight of the church and its ministries. This team provides Godly, passionate and balanced leadership that steers the ongoing growth and health of the church.
Church Council
Watoto Church has a leadership structure, with the Church Council at its apex. It is the overall policy organ of Watoto Church and all its ministries.
The council is responsible for strategic policy decisions as well as the management and smooth running of the church. It is made up of the Pastoral Team, the Elders' Team and the Deacons' Team.
Pastoral Team
The pastoral team of Watoto Church is made up of a cohesive team of men and women who have worked together to build GOD's House in Uganda.
They are responsible for the spiritual oversight of the church and its membership.
They have a heart for people and seek to help each member reach their full potential in Christ.
Their approach to ministry is holistic and hence, the fruit thereof is an enhancement of the whole man - spirit, soul and body.
Deacons Team
The deacons' team is responsible for the physical needs of the church.
Their responsibilities include:
- Drafting of policies to govern day to day operations of the church, use of church property, handling of church finances, staff and any other aspect of the church as and when the need arises.
- Oversight of the financial and business affairs of the church. They assist in ministry of ordinances, hiring, discipline, and removal of church employees and ensuring that the pastors and all the employees of the church are adequately remunerated
- The deacons also assist in management, upkeep and maintenance of the church property. On behalf of the Church Council, the deacons’ team is also responsible for the appointment of all the department team leaders of the church
Elders' Team
The elders' team is responsible for governing the direction of the church, guarding its doctrines, and together with the pastoral team, provide direction and authority within the church, encouraging and empowering members of the congregation to do what God has given them the ability to do.
In addition to this, elders assist with the ministry of the ordinances. They administer discipline in the church, handle and resolve disputes within the church according to biblical principles.
They receive new members into the church, pray for the sick and diligently see that the testimony of salvation in Christ is presented to the world.
