Qualifications For Para Church Board Members
Forum category
I am currently working with my camp board on establishing criteria for new board members. We have discussed using the deacon as the biblical comparative. At present we are kind of stuck. What criteria do other groups use? Are they higher/lower/same as for church officers? Does your church look at the makeup of a organizations board when partnering with them? What would cause your church to decline partnering or dropping a group with regards to the board?
It should be no surprise that we are bumping into the same “standards” issues as the churches. Are these make or break issues for you?
Woman board member
Divorced and remarried
Social drinker
Clergy/Laity
Education
Also, if you could point me towards existing policies that we might review, it would be most helpful.

I was President of the board for 4 years
I was President of the board for 4 years
- We asked supporting churches to nominate board members
- We had a board member packet describing the job. We required attendance at board meetings (we have issues with board members who did not attend and then we did not have quorum to conduct business)
- Board members had to be members in good standing of supporting churches
- We required a Pastoral recommendation form for nominees
- There was a morals clause. For example we removed a board member for a serious sin (that was not related to the ministry)
