We need a new governance system, because our church has grown too large for the board's small-church mindset of micro-managing staff and volunteers. To take full advantage of our highly skilled and professional staff, we need the best organizational system possible. A board that is a productive and positive entity of the church will attract strong leadership and inspire openness and trust. Policy Governance^® promises an engaged congregation, a forward-focused board, a highly efficient staff, and a healthy church community as a whole.
