How a church is usually structured

Church structures vary by denomination, but many local churches have a senior or lead pastor accountable to a board of elders or a church council, with associate pastors and ministry leaders for worship, children, youth, outreach and small groups, plus an office or operations team.

Show where the board sits

Elder boards and church councils oversee the senior pastor rather than sitting in the staff line. Put the board at the top with a note, or draw it as a separate box, to reflect your governance.

Volunteers can go on the chart too

Many ministries are led by volunteers. Add “(volunteer)” to the title so people know who to contact without implying they are staff.
