About the Book

This book has been written primarily to help churches transition from one board model to another. Readers seeking merely to help their current board operate better will still greatly benefit from this book. Most of the chapters can be adapted for church boards in general, not just for those in transition. Readers who are not embarking on board transition but rather desiring board improvement will quickly recognize the few chapters they may want to skip over. Keep in mind, however, that your board may need transitioning in the future, so don't forget what you did with this book! Those who take the time to read the entire book may discover that church board transition may not be such a bad idea after all. In 2005 I founded my current church, GracePointe Baptist in Madison Heights, Virginia, which, as a small church and operates under a pastor/deacon model, and not the primary model presented in this book. What I propose here is more appropriate for a church with existing systems and protocols, and may not be practical for the small congregation (under fifty in attendance). However, depending on the doctrinal and theological approach of a church, most of this material is useful and adaptable for any church wishing to have a more effective leadership structure. Note: For a long time I have maintained that the idea of a "board" ("board of directors," church "board," deacon "board," "board" of Trustees, etc.) is a secular concept emerging from Western business culture. While the Bible clearly offers examples of leadership groups, such as elders, these groups did not function in the same way or for the same reason as the typical board does today in a business or non-profit organization. As I point out in this book, I do not refer to my deacons or trustees as "boards" but rather as "fellowships" (I explain this later in the book). That being said, for the purposes of this book I have chosen to refer to the official church leadership team as a "board," and have even included the term in the title of this book, as the concept is so entrenched in our vocabulary and communication that it makes sense to use the term here. I have learned that I am in the minority about my reticence to use the term, and that my defense of my philosophy could get in the way of your consideration of what I present here. Thank you for keeping this mind.
