Resources: Effective Member Meetings

Our Vision Statement is: “Strengthening our churches with timely resources that strengthen their leaders.”

Over the years, we have heard many times that some churches struggle with holding an effective member meeting. “Too long,” “too boring,” “not helpful,” “not transparent,” “not well-organized," are a few of the comments that have come up.

So, in May, we released a brand new FEBC resource – “FEBC Effective Member Meetings.” This new resource will help church leaders navigate the logistics of a member meeting, from the planning to the follow-up and everything in between.

This document is based on the premise that a business meeting is not a dull formality to overcome, but an important and vibrant part of the life of a church body. In it, we dive into the process that should be happening year-round, as well as specific action items to take before, during, and after the meeting.

Any church leader who is involved with planning or presenting during meetings should look at this resource and consider whether any current practices need to be reexamined. As with all our resources, this document comes with free help. If you have questions or need any help with planning your next meeting, do not hesitate to contact the FEBC staff.

Also, we have added a listing of many available resources HERE.
 
Please remember that this is not an exhaustive list. We are happy to help FEBC church leaders with any ministry issue and encourage you to reach out whenever you have a need.
 
However, this is a list of the “formal resources” that we can email you at any time, along with examples of the other informal services and onsite visits we provide.
