The Leadership Council is responsible for the spiritual life and health of the Church and of every member. It seeks to be God-centred and directed in all its thinking and actions and continually open to the Holy Spirit.

It seeks to create an atmosphere in which trust and loving relationships can develop and flourish. This is necessary as we seek to reach people in the surrounding area and bring them to know Jesus as Saviour and Lord.

The Leadership Council aims to provide good steady leadership in the Church, guiding and supporting members and helping them to work together as a family of God in Creech St Michael Baptist Church.

It provides a support group for the Pastors and other leaders in decision making and in difficult matters.

It brings together the Pastors, representatives of the Deacons, and Missionary, Outreach and Youth Councils as well as members elected from and by the whole membership to ensure that there is a wide representation of views and information on matters under consideration.

It is responsible for co-ordinating the activities within the Church. As necessary it supports and advises leaders, and evaluates and reviews the activities and the leaders. It is responsible for approving the establishment of new developments and recommends the names of new and replacement leaders to the Church meeting.

It also deals with a number of matters delegated to it by the Church meeting, such as the approval of requests for Church membership.

The Leadership Council provides a wider group of leaders to whom the Church members can express views and concerns and know they will be listened to with respect.
