Church Boards ?
Should Local Church congregations have church boards ? Are church boards a plus or minus ? If local church congregations should have church boards,how should a church board be structured ?
I understand some have adverse feelings about church boards and say they aren't Biblical and board run churches are wrong,let hear from those who feel this way.
Right or wrong what are your feelings about church boards ?

My first thots are: When a pastor personally selects each individual to be on the church board, and then they only meet one to two times a year, my thinking is the only reason they have a board is simply to to say/show that they have a board.

Re: Church Boards ?
I don't believe in elections.
I believe in appointments by the Holy Spirit.

Re: Church Boards ?
Elders are the board. They are all Pastors.

Ditto. The board is the people who are looked up to, it doesn't matter who you elect. Dordt, I'm...agreeing with you! Lol, you feel the same about the other election thingy we got going on?

Re: Church Boards ?
We have a board at our church. The board members are NOT chosen by the pastor. Most of them are on because they are the heads of their respective committees (Finance, Deacons, Trustees, Men's Ministries, Women's Ministries, etc.). Two of us are on the board as "representatives of the church body" and are selected by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is selected by votes from the congregation at a congregational meeting once a year. Then the Nominating Committee chooses who goes on each of the different committees. But NONE - NO ONE! - is appointed to anything by the pastor at our church.
Having the Board has been a huge blessing this year for us. We had to ask our pastor to leave 13 months ago. So the board has had to step up to the plate big time for this whole last year. Pray that we find the right pastor for us SOON. Thanks.

Re: Church Boards ?
I think a board of members is required for 501c3 tax exempt?
