Qualifications for members of the Board include:

• willingness and ability to devote time and effort necessary to conduct the church’s affairs effectively for the duration of the term, and

• represent the board as a liaison to one or more church councils
• consult with staff regarding the operation of the church
• listen to opinions and feelings of the congregation and reflect the sense of these conversations in deliberations within the board, councils and committees
