| | Rev. William McClain, Sr. Assoc Pastor |  | The Department of Services is the division of Julington that is responsible for managing, maintaining and distributing the resources of the church.

Honorable stewardship is our main focus and the highly proficient and capable staff of the services department will always concern themselves with meeting the needs of the Lords business. Listed below, you will be introduced to a very fine staff of leaders to carry out our set missions. Feel free to communicate any issues or concerns about services to any one of these staff members and again welcome to the Julington Baptist Church, Department of Services Division. | | | |
| Deacon Raymond Boyd, Admin Assistant | | As a deacon and ministry leader the Administrative Assistant is responsible to the Associate Pastor of Services for each ministry housed in this vitally important area of Church Service. The Services Ministry is expected to provide the ways and means by which Operations and other Admin Ministries are able to function. The Administrative Assistant acts as liaison between all other church staff and those that are responsible for the assets of the church. The teachers are responsible for the class, but the Administrative Assistant is responsible for the “room.” As the right hand of the Pastor of Services, the A A, (Administrative Assistant) will ensure that ministries are not handicapped by resources. | | | |
| | Sis. Barbara Glen, Trustee Chairperson | | As a member of the church finance and property ministry the stewardship leader should be knowledgeable concerning the overall plans of the church, and assist in helping to develop the resources to achieve the local church growth strategy. He or she should also take a key role in the planning and budgeting process, either as general coordinator or an active participant. It is vital that church plans and the church budget be one connected whole, not two separate activities.
This ministry requires a visionary staff able to pursue the answer to "Why Not," not the too easy question of "Why?" As Ellen White comments, “Every believer should be wholehearted in his attachment to the church. Its prosperity should be his first interest, and unless he feels under sacred obligation to make his connection with the church a benefit to it in preference to himself, it can do far better without him. It is in the power of all to do something for the cause of God.” | | | |
| Sis. Tina Jacobs, Treasurer | | The history of church treasurers goes back at least to 457 B.C. when Ezra appointed guardians for the funds given for the work in Jerusalem. To those given the care of the Lord’s goods Ezra commanded, “Ye are holy unto the Lord; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers” Ezra 8:28.
“The care exercised by Ezra in providing for the transportation and safety of the Lord’s treasure, teaches a lesson worthy of thoughtful study. Only those whose trustworthiness had been proved, were chosen; and they were instructed plainly regarding the responsibility resting on them. In the appointment of faithful officers to act as treasurers of the Lord’s goods, Ezra recognized the necessity and value of order and organization in connection with the work of God” | | | |
