A body corporate of believers or the Vosloorus Council of Elders (VCE) made up of senior pastors from different churches from all over Vosloorus was launched at the Vosloorus Civic Centre on May 4.
The organisation will oversee the work of the Lord, facilitate day-to-day running of churches and see to it that they operate in keeping with biblical teaching.
The corporate will ensure that pastors do not turn churches into business operations for gain, and that young pastors who plan to start churches are properly formed, and not motivated by money to be in the ministry.
