How We Are Organized
Biblical Leadership Structure
The Corner Brook Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is led by a body of elders — spiritually qualified men appointed according to the criteria outlined in the Bible (1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9). These men serve voluntarily and without financial compensation, motivated entirely by their love for God and genuine care for the congregation.
Elders shepherd the congregation through personal pastoral visits, counselling based on the Bible, oversight of meetings, and caring assistance during times of need. They are supported by ministerial servants — qualified men who handle practical congregation responsibilities, freeing elders to focus on pastoral care.
- Elders appointed based on spiritual qualifications, not seniority
- All leadership roles are voluntary — no paid clergy
- Oversight connected to the worldwide Governing Body through circuit overseers
- Regular congregation meetings ensure broad participation in decisions
