ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL MEETING SUMMARY

August 13, 2024

New Leaders to Ad Council — (Dave Robinett) Welcomed new leaders: Mark and Angela Friesen as Family Council Co-Chairs, Susan Jarvis and Jill Clifford as Hospitality Co-Chairs, and Sue Pennock as Lay Leader.

Discipleship Training — (Terry Bolender) The Book of Discipline outlines the charge of an Administrative Council as planning programs, administration of the church organization, and envisioning the future (developing the strategic plan and setting goals). As a larger church, our structure is set up to have more people involved in decision making. This creates more engagement, develops new leadership, and streamlines what Ad Council has to do.

Leadership Tools — (Terry Bolender) All of the leadership handbook, plus additional resources, are now on the website. No more binders to hand out and things can be kept up to date more readily.

Finance Update — (Glen Cushman, Treasurer) Quick summary is that we are $20,000 under budget in income (pledges and non-pledged); our expenses are about $4000 under budget so we have a larger operating deficit than anticipated halfway through the year.

SPRC — (George Adams) A motion to create a new staff position, Audio/Visual Technician 1, was approved.

Leadership Development — (Pastor Jim) Nominations for new leaders were approved: Marissa Aragones on Hospitality; Joan Ames on Congregational Care; Jen Livingood on Creation Care.

Next Ad Council meeting will be Tuesday, September 10th via Zoom
