Last night at our elders meeting we talked about the church Constitution & By-Laws. That might sound kind of dry and boring, but it’s actually pretty exciting even if you’re not a pastor. This important document briefly explains what the church is all about. Sure, it can get into technical ground sometimes, but it’s essentially a statement about who we are and what we do as a church. If you’re passionate about the mission of the church, you might be surprised how passionate you can be about its Constitution & By-Laws!
We’re in the process of reworking this document. We don’t want it to be just a piece of paper that’s necessary in order to be legally recognized by the state. Instead it should determine the direction of the church and define everything we do and don’t do. It’ll be a long process, but it’s underway! We’ve definitely got our work cut out for us.
