Defining the LCM's authority roles

Jake · 06-01-2017, 01:41 PM

In the short time that I was attending the LC, I picked up on a number of terms used that seemed to signify different roles within the church, but nobody ever seemed to want to define exactly what these roles were, because they wanted to maintain the illusion of no clergy/laity system. Wondering if anyone could fill me in on what these roles are, what the responsibilities involve, how people get appointed to them, if they're paid or not, etc.
I couldn't find any description on the forum already, but you could direct me to a post if there is one please.

elders
responsible ones
serving ones
leading ones
leading elders
co-workers
anything others I'm missing?
