Ministerial Servant. A spiritually mature male Witness appointed to assist elders with non-pastoral tasks. To serve as a ministerial servant, he must continue to meet the Scriptural qualifications listed at 1 Timothy 3:8-10, 12, 13 and Titus 2:6-8. Ministerial servants care for important organizational and support functions in a congregation. A ministerial servant is not paid for his services and is not an employee of his respective congregation or any corporation associated with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Most ministerial servants work secularly to support themselves and their families. Some ministerial servants may, in time, qualify to serve as elders. The term is not used as an honorific title.
