This exceptional work by J. W. McGarvey sets out in detail church
governance at the local level; how pastors administrate their
congregation, and how a good church should operate. At the time
this book was first published in 1870, new churches were being
regularly established on the frontiers of the expanding United
States. Meanwhile growing populations in the established areas led
to a demand for more churches. Knowing how to properly set up and
maintain a church was difficult and mistakes were common; thus
McGarvey authored these lectures, that readers might comprehend
what the office of church eldership entails. The function of the
church as a teaching authority, as an organizer of communities
towards both common effort and a shared understanding, is
discussed. Each chapter focuses upon a different aspect of church
administration; how elders are to qualify themselves, arrange to
meet, organize for events, and fulfill their duties to the
community.
