Village Seven functions under a representative form of church government.
The officers of the church are elders, elected by the congregation, and are responsible for the spiritual oversight of the church.
A role of sympathy and service; dedicated to helping those in need of mercy ministry.
This team is equipped to help the elders shepherd the people in various situations of marriages, discipleship, family or personal crises, and guidance.
