Overview

Every Christian ministry finds itself caught between two worlds – the legal demands of society and the spiritual expectations of church organisation. This course explores this challenge by understanding differing types of legal entities (eg companies/incorporated bodies)and diverse models of church organisation. Whichever solution is chosen, there will still be the distinct functions of governance (boards, councils etc) and management. We explore the importance of this distinction, the role of governance and the Tricker model of governance. Participants will be introduced to a structured approach for risk management and decision making. Additionally, we will investigate key legal issues facing Christian governance teams and the personal responsibilities of governance team members. Finally, we look at factors that make governance teams effective with a particular focus on running effective meetings.
