The General Secretary of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Emmanuel E. Mapur has said that any organization that would function effectively must have organisational structure, including the Church.
According to him, organisational structure simply means structuring an organization for the purpose of achieving its set goals and objectives.
Pastor Mapur stated this while ministering on the topic "CAC Organogram and Administrative Structure" on Monday January 17, 2022 at Pastors' Leadership Retreat organised by CAC Nigeria and Overseas holding at JABU, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State.
He noted that every organization must have a structure, saying that organizational structure tells about the level of hierarchy that shows who is responsible to whom and positions.
Pastor Mapur further explained that "organizational structure displays how information flows from level to level within the company. Organizational structure consists of vital pillars of an organization which the organization is composed of. Organizational structure can also be defined as a system that outlines how certain activities are directed in order to achieve the goals of an organization. These activities can include rules, roles, and responsibilities.
"Organizational structure also determines how information flows between levels within the company. It refers to both the formal and informal frameworks that shape how a business is operated. An organization's structure determines how employees are grouped together and plays a large role in a firm's success. Choosing a structure is not a one-size-fits-all decision, and business owners must select the model that best suits the needs of their organization. Every organization has a hierarchy of people and job functions whether it is organic or intentional. For a business to operate efficiently and systematically, it needs a planned structure that fits the style, size and operations of the organization."
He unveiled the newly structured organogram for the CAC Nigeria and Overseas, regional and offices of the Principal Officers.
Pastor Mapur concluded that "organizational structure is a key element in the functioning of an effective organization. It is also a common lever that many executives "pull" in the attempt to increase the efficiency of their companies.
If an organization's structure does not fit well with its environment and internal systems, it will be unable to function at high levels of effectiveness and efficiency. It is on this basis that the Authority of the Church constitute a 4-Man committee to come out with a functional organogram for the Church as you have seen."
