Church Council

A Church Council is a gathering of church leaders and representatives from different communities within a Christian denomination. Their purpose is to discuss, decide, and set guidelines on important issues affecting the church’s teachings, practices, doctrine, and organization. These councils help ensure unity and address theological questions, moral concerns, or societal challenges. Historically, they have played a key role in shaping the doctrine and direction of the church, often issuing formal statements or creeds. Essentially, a Church Council serves as a decision-making body that helps guide the faith community through collective discernment and doctrinal clarity.
