Governance and Ministry has proven to be an indispensable guide for leaders and clergy on how to work together to lead congregations. In this second edition, veteran congregational consultant and minister Dan Hotchkiss updates the book to reflect today’s church and synagogue landscape and shares practical insights based on his work with readers of the first edition. Governance and Ministry highlights the importance of reaching the right governance model for a congregation to fulfill its mission—to achieve both the outward results and the inward quality of life to which it is called. Hotchkiss draws on governance research from business, non-profits, and churches, as well as deep experience in a variety of denominations and congregations to help readers determine the governance model that best fits their needs. The second edition has been streamlined and reorganized to better help readers think through leadership models and the process of change. The book features new material on the implications of congregation size, the process of governance change, policy choices, and the lay-clergy relationship. It also features two appendices with resources often requested by Hotchkiss’s consulting clients: a style guide for policy-makers and a unified example of a board policy book. Written with energy and humor, and offering plenty of practical examples, the second edition of this helpful resource is ideal for anyone involved in church leadership to assist in framing critical questions, creating a vision, and implementing a plan.

The structures of mainline Protestant congregations are designed to make sure they keep doing what they have done before. That isn't helpful when the way we've always done it doesn't work anymore. This book is about the basic principles of governance that support effective mission and ministry in a rapidly changing mission context. It describes how some United Methodist congregations are learning to simplify their church structures in order to allow them to innovate in ministry and become more responsive to their mission fields. The principles and practices described here can be useful to leaders in many other Protestant churches that are seeking to become more effective in mission.

Church leaders must fundamentally change the way they view leadership, governance, and management in their organizations if they are to take seriously the need to listen to God's desires before acting. In Leadership and Listening, readers will find encouragement and specific suggestions for re-imagining church governance and management. Zimmer observes that the contemporary church is rooted in both the kingdom of God and the systems and cultures of government and business. Most people who serve in governing and management roles in the church in the United States today have been formed in the corporate world and acculturated to parliamentary process. As a result, many church governing boards are about 'business,' rather than their primary task: discerning God's desires for the part of the church they serve. Through research with more than one hundred church leaders, Zimmer learned that the church and the business community possess many insights and resources that can help boards shift toward a focus on seeking first the desires of God's heart and then responding effectively. By drawing on the guidance Zimmer offers, a church board can transform itself from a group that manages the day-to-day affairs of the church to one that makes listening, prayer, worship, reflection, and community the first priority.

The government model you choose will determine your church's destiny. Some churches foster an environment of harmony, stability, and leaders who feel energized. Other churches are plagued by disunity, conflict, lack of growth, and leaders who feel alone and overwhelmed. How do you ensure your church is on a path to fruitful ministry? Tom Lane is one of the foremost authorities on church government. He has more than 30 years as a ministry leader and a foundational guide at both Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, Texas and Gateway Church in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. Ministries across America have relied on Tom's wisdom and experience as a board member or governing elder. He teaches with a warm relational style and an unwavering moral authority. Foundations of Healthy Church Government will help you: Develop an enduring, biblical model of governance for your church. Replace time-wasting and internal strife with harmony and accountability. Avoid power struggles among leadership before they start. Reignite church growth and membership. Move your church staff and vision from confusion to unity. Turn a potential battleground into fertile ground for ministry.

Church Boards Leading With Excellence written by Ted Hull and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-05 with Religion categories.
Church boards are often the scene of confusion, conflict, and chaos. What's the job of a board? What's the role of the pastor in relation to the board? Should there be an elder board "and" an administrative board? Ted Hull's use of illustrations and analogies bring these questions-and answers-into focus. Ted first looks at the foundation of governance, both from a biblical and historic perspective. Then he introduces Policy Governance(r), often referred to as the Carver model, and confronts questions regarding whether this secular model can work in the church, or if it should even be allowed. He even argues for why a church board may not want to use Policy Governance. When you're done reading, you'll never look at the role of a church board in the same way again. In fact, whether you're a member of your church board or the board of any charity, you'll find yourself reaching for this book more than once. "With wit and wisdom, Ted draws from his rich and practical experience in church life and organizational governance to assist churches in understanding and applying Policy Governance(r) consistently and correctly." -Daniel Hamil, Ed.D. Executive Director/CEO North American Baptist Conference "Ted Hull approaches the topic of church governance in an engaging style that has you laughing and nodding... Even if you tend to be a 'doubting Thomas, ' I urge you to suspend your doubts long enough to read and absorb the message of this book." -Jannice Moore President, The Governance Coach Ted Hull, President of Ted Hull Consulting, has been involved with churches and para-church organizations for over thirty years. He has a passion to serve churches and charities by facilitating the process of governance excellence through coaching boards and leaders in the course of change. "
