Who is appointed to manage property owned by a local church?

The Local Board of Trustees is appointed to manage property owned by a local church because their primary role is to oversee the financial and physical assets of the church. This includes making decisions about property acquisition, maintenance, and overall stewardship of the church's resources. The trustees are often given the authority to ensure that the property is used effectively and in alignment with the church's mission and goals.

Church Elders focus more on spiritual leadership and guidance within the congregation rather than on administrative tasks related to property management. The State Overseer has broader jurisdiction over multiple churches and is responsible for overseeing the church district but does not manage individual church property. The Ministerial Council typically consists of pastors and leaders who focus on spiritual matters and ministry needs rather than the specific administrative functions of property management.
