Carrubbers
Christian Centre
The pastors of Carrubbers have specific remits, to prepare the Church's congregation for works of service and to build it up as the body of Christ. They are ex-officio members of the board of elders but as employees are not regarded as charity trustees and are not involved in decisions which may cause a conflict of interest with their employed status (such as financial decisions).
