How many board members are an ideal number?

Posted Thu, 10/22/2009 - 17:21 by Anonymous

It depends on the size of the church and the range of responsibilities they have. Most agree that a number between 5 and 11 is sufficient. Usually 5 or 7 is best because you do not want to have too many members, or too few. Too few members may not be enough men to have a broad enough spectrum for the accurate assessment of a situation and too many can result in too many opinions which leads to too much discussion and confusion. It is also important to have an uneven number to prevent a deadlock situation.
