the treasurer and some leading Elders. There are over 100 members (90 members
and other co-opted members) of the GEC. (View the GEC)
Districts
Coordination Council (DCC)
The DCC is an agglomeration of Districts. Up to 20 Districts
form a DCC. A group of Assemblies (Churches) forms a District. The DCC is the
highest level of organization of Assemblies in CAC. The head of a DCC is called
the DCC Superintendent.
Zone
A zone is a lower form of DCC. It was created to allow a
group of Districts, which are not enough to form a DCC, the opportunity to grow.
Basically, when a Zone is created, the Zonal Superintendent intensifies
evangelism and church planting to grow into a DCC. The head of the Zone is also
called the Zonal Superintendent. A Zone cannot be a subset of a DCC. It stands
on its own.
Special District
A Special District is a group of Assemblies that outnumbers
what is reasonably called a District. Even though it has only one District, it
can neither be a subset of a DCC nor a subset of a Zone. A special District
stands on its own and its leader is also called a Superintendent. A Special
District can grow into a Zone and into a DCC by breaking its District into
several Districts.
Districts
A group of Assemblies, usually around the same geographical
location, forms a District. The leader of a District, usually a Pastor of one
of the Assemblies in the District, is called District Superintendent. A group
of Districts form either a Zone or a DCC. A Zone requires lesser number of
Districts than a DCC.
Assemblies
Assemblies are the lowest unit of church organization in
CAC. The Assembly is just the regular local church. Up to 35 Assemblies may
form a District. The head of a Church is the Senior Pastor. Other Ministers of
a church are the Curate (Assistant Pastor), Associate Pastors, Youth Pastor,
and Evangelists. The Church is administered by Elders and Deacons.
