Governance and Ministry: Rethinking Board Leadership

Governance and Ministry: Rethinking Board Leadership

Governance and Ministry has proven to be an indispensable guide for leaders and clergy on how to work together to lead congregations. In this second edition, veteran congregational consultant and minister Dan Hotchkiss updates the book to reflect todayâ€™s church and synagogue landscape and shares practical insights based on his work with readers of the first edition.

Governance and Ministry highlights the importance of reaching the right governance model for a congregation to fulfill its missionâ€”to achieve both the outward results and the inward quality of life to which it is called. Hotchkiss draws on governance research from business, non-profits, and churches, as well as deep experience in a variety of denominations and congregations to help readers determine the governance model that best fits their needs. The second edition has been streamlined and reorganized to better help readers think through leadership models and the process of change. The book features new material on the implications of congregation size, the process of governance change, policy choices, and the lay-clergy relationship. It also features two appendices with resources often requested by Hotchkissâ€™s consulting clients: a style guide for policy-makers and a unified example of a board policy book.

Written with energy and humor, and offering plenty of practical examples, the second edition of this helpful resource is ideal for anyone involved in church leadership to assist in framing critical questions, creating a vision, and implementing a plan.
