Representatives

• When congregants join a specific church, they will be guided by the leadership of the church in their worship and in being respectful of the church's beliefs and teachings in determining the way they live their lives. Each member of the congregation becomes a representative of the church and will, hopefully, be a good role model for the younger members of the church and for the community in which they live. Congregants support their leadership in achieving the church's mission and support each other in worshipful activities.
  
  

Evangelism

• Some, or all members of a congregation may be expected to spread the teachings of their church in the community, or as missionaries in other locations. Evangelists hope to teach people about their religion and encourage them to join their church.
  
  

Committees

• A congregation may be organized into different committees, each charged with specific goals that support the church's work in different ways. Some committees may be involved in very practical matters such as fund raising, activities and church maintenance, while others may have more spiritual goals such as teaching, Sunday school and religious studies.
  
  

Community Work

• Some congregations are heavily involved in meeting the unmet needs of frail, vulnerable and at-risk members of their communities that may not necessarily be church members. They do this by providing valuable services that supplement existing governmental and nonprofit efforts. Examples of their community work are congregate and home-delivered meals programs, food banks, homeless shelter services, support groups, children's after-school activities, hospital visiting and ministering to the sick.
