An Update from the Board of Directors
Since the 2012 Annual Meeting in Colorado the CCCC Board of Directors has established three sub-committees to work on issues related to implementing our Seven Guiding Values.
They are 1) a “Structure Subcommittee” to determine how the overall administrative and ministry structures of the Conference help or hinder implementation of the Guiding Values; 2) a “Financial Systems Subcommittee” to look at how we handle finances in regard the Guiding Values; and 3) a “Conference Care Subcommittee” to see how we might affordably develop healthy pastors, while we cannot afford to hire a point person for this vital component of our overall vision.
Each of these committees has been hard at work and reported the following:
| __• | __ | The Structure Subcommittee has proposed aligning the Conference from the “bottom up,” beginning with the care and discipling of our local pastors, who are the key to healthy disciple-making churches. A full report will be made to the Board at the Annual Meeting this summer, but the work they have done so far was very well received. |
| • | The Financial Systems Subcommittee presented a variety of specific recommendations for new job descriptions for the financial officers and financial committees of the Conference, new processes for setting budgets and salaries, new communication methods for stewardship, new policies for churches that do not give to the Conference, new policies regarding the Conference borrowing from itself and repaying its internal debts, and recommendations regarding who handles our yearly audit. Most have been acted upon already, and the necessary by-law changes have been submitted to the Constitution Study Committee for action at this summer’s Annual Family Conference. | |
| • | The Conference Care Subcommittee wrote job descriptions for a volunteer Director of Conference Care and a Conference Care committee. They joyfully welcomed Lenn Zeller’s appointment to that position effective January 1, 2013. |
The Board is progressing to implement our vision, and establish the systems and structures to support it for years to come.
Paul C. McPheeters,
President of the Board of Directors
