What are proper uses of a church board?
The role and expectations of a church board must be clearly defined and understood. A board should not be asked to operation outside the limitations of their responsibilities.Board members should not be "yes" men who are manipulated by the pastor or other people.The board should never be asked to deceive or "cover up" information provided to the church, banks etc.The pastor should never blame the church board or use them as a "scapegoat" to take the blame when things go wrong.They should not be used as a "weapon" to threaten or coarse people. A pastor should not force a church board to take his side regardless of the right or wrongness of a situation.
