Congregational Liaison Ministry
MISSION:
The Congregational Liaisons endeavor to support the ideas
listed below: Unity is important because (1) it makes the church a
positive example to the world and helps draw others to us; (2) it
helps us cooperate as a body of believers as God meant us to, giving
us a foretaste of heaven; (3) it renews and revitalizes ministry
because there is less tension to sap our energy. Living in unity
does not mean that we will agree on everything; there will be many
opinions just as there are many notes in a musical chord, but we
must agree on our purpose in life-to work together for God. Our
outward expression of unity will reflect our inward unity of
purpose. (NIV)
GOAL:
To serve the congregation by presenting concerns, issues, questions,
etc., to the appropriate body that make the decisions about the
matter and facilitating a timely response and resolution to the
concern.
OBJECTIVES:
To serve as liaison between the congregation and the Executive
Committee, Joint Board and Church Council to ensure that the
concerns, ideas and issues of the congregation are brought to the
appropriate meeting and are heard; to provide groups, organizations
or individuals that have concerns, ideas, questions, or an angst
about something within the Church that they feel compelled to
express, with a voice through which the idea is expressed in a
formal meeting.
