• Shepherds These are usually older or mature couples, though they can be single, that also help in leading the church. They are similar to what other churches call elders.
• Administrator These are the people who lead the official and financial portion of the congregation. The ICC did this so that the Evangelists could focus in on leading and evangelizing.
