you do if you are the person who has been charged with leading
change, but you haven't been granted the legitimate authority needed
to do so? This webinar will explore the dynamics of leadership
influence.

Church by-laws are the backbone of congregational governance. Properly drafted and maintained good governance documents can support a congregation through conflict, transition and keep the ministry on track. The time to evaluate and review your legal documents is now before they become the source of direction in the midst of a controversial church issue. By-Laws are a dynamic document and must be continually reviewed for changes in law and application to the changing church environment it supports. |
