What we do
(RE)BUILDING THE FOUNDATION
Small church leadership can be fruitful and beautiful but it can also be frustrating for pastors and board members. We believe there are a few essential truths, that when applied, can help any board become and continue to function in a more healthy way.
- A healthy church board is ESSENTIAL to having a healthy pastor, but unfortunately, this quote is all too accurate: “Church board members are the least trained volunteers in the church.”
- A healthy church board is ESSENTIAL to having a healthy church – the board member’s spiritual maturity, spirit of unity, courage to lead with humility – and directly impacts the spiritual health and maturity of their church.
We wholly invest ourselves into helping build healthy church boards who understand their essential biblical role in their church and who joyfully serve their congregations in cooperation and support of their pastor.
