Abstract

One of the challenges facing middle-size Chiristian Churches is the need to transition in governance to an elder-protected, staff-led, and ministry team-managed model. In developing a process to help churches with this transition the writer sought to adapt the principles of Policy Governance [trademark symbol]. The senior ministers of four churches that have had a governance transition by applying Policy Governance principles were interviewed and a pilot program with middle-size churches was conducted. The process included developing a manual for a training seminar and sample guiding principles for follw up consultation. Assessments revealed improved satisfaction with governance after the pilot program.
