        Meeting called to order by Pastor Randy Stephens. He 
informed

the Council they would be making decisions for the church body 
and the

importance of confidentiality, that things coucil members 
disscuss

should not be discussed outside of immediate family members.

Pastor let the Coucil know that monthly financial reports would 
be done

by the church clerk.  He also stated that depth of growth of the 
church

will depend on the Council.

        Council does not overide the Pastor and the Pastor will 
not

overide the Council as long as they flow with the Holy Spirit 
and we

will work together in harmony!

        Pastor let the Council know that he has not received any 
salary

since November 92 -- Irene gave totals of income received for 
Jan &

Feb. of l993, the Pastor has been using his salary to pay for the

expenses of the church since Nov. 92.   Beginning March 1st 
church will

be responsible for all expenses including salary for the Pastor 
of

$465.00 weekly which he will return $165.00 weekly giving him a 
$300.00

weekly salary.  Pastor stated he would like to be in the 
ministry full-

time by Summer or early Fall.   Bro. Garcia stated that some 
members

aren't paying 10% tithes on their wages, Johnathan felt that the 
church

needs some teaching on tithing.

        Discussion was held on the growth of the church there is 
a

possibility of 80 people per week if everyone came --- 7 new 
visitors

were present in the morning service today (2-28)  It will depend 
on the

Church Body if we stay in current building.  The church is 
getting more

and more well known.

        Pastor brought up the need of a Bus to transport the 
Youth,

insurance for an older bus was quoted at $1,300.00 per year -- 
Bro.

Garcia stated we need to build a solid foundation before trying 
to go

in debt for a bus.

        Church also needs to do more advertising -- the church 
needs

to get the vision of the pastor!  Pastor brought up about rasing 
funds

for Youth Camp campers to go to Youth Camp.

        Pastor discussed with Council how much his work schedule 
pre-

vents him from being with his family and being able to spend 
time in the

ministry of the church body.

        Johnathan brought up how are we going to bring all the 
needs to

the church people, it was decided a church business meeting will 
be

scheduled toward the end of March.  Johnathan wants a 
spokesperson from

the Council to speak to the church about the subject of Giving.  
Pastor

stated that anyone can speak up.  It was also suggested to have a

Potluck dinner before the Church Business meeting.
