Dear
Fellow Members,
Your
Policies & Procedures Committee has been working for a long
time on getting this out to you. As you read through this document,
you will see that it is probably 98% the same as our Constitution
& By-Laws. The only changes made have been typed in bold
letters and underlined as well.
This
manual is divided into two parts. Part one is what will become
our Constitution & By-laws, if approved by the church, and
part two will become our new policy and procedures manual, again
if approved by the church.
You
will notice that the Manual includes the language for use of
Ministry Teams. If the church decides not to go with the ministry
teams and revert back to the committee format, the manual can
easily be changed upon approval by the church.
The
Constitution & By-laws contains items that should rarely
be changed or amended. The manual contains items that might
change with the ministry of the church and thus needs to be
in the manual so that it is more easily changed (such as how
many might serve on a ministry team or committee).
Please
take the time to look this over. If you have any questions,
additions, suggestions or other comments, please feel free to
ask any committee member. We are planning a night for a question
and answer period sometime in October so that everyone can have
a chance to respond to this manual. After your questions have
been answered, we will bring it to a vote most likely during
November’s business meeting (it will have to be presented during
October’s meeting to be voted on in November).
Thank
you for taking the time to look through this important document.
Your
Policy & Procedures Committee,
Steve
