“Dr. Venkat Potana brings theological clarity and pastoral wisdom to one of the most important questions facing the Church: Who owns the Church? With thoughtful attention to authority, membership, leadership, governance, accountability, and mission, he reminds us that the Church is not a possession of pastors, members, boards, denominations, or influential families, but belongs to Jesus Christ.

Dr. Potana’s contribution is both theologically serious and deeply practical, helping readers think about church governance in ways that protect people, strengthen accountability, and serve the mission of Christ. This book offers pastors, leaders, and congregations a mature framework for exercising authority with humility and responsibility, always under the lordship of Christ. The Church is Christ’s, and those who serve within it are called to serve faithfully under His lordship.”
—Pastor. Madhusudhan Raj
