All members and regular attendees are encouraged to join one of four forum
groups which would be either Community Life Forum, Education
Forum, Mission
Forum, or Worship Forum. Each forum represents one particular area of church
ministry.
Forum groups shall be responsible for:
Identifying nominees to serve as lay minister and nominees for
commission members that would represent their forum
Working with their commission in organizing and serving on
committees or teams necessary to carry out the responsibilities of the
forum's particular ministry
Providing prayer, counsel, and support to the lay minister and commission
members
Forum members can be involved at different levels in forum activities
including:
Regular attendance at forum meetings providing prayer, support, and
counsel to leaders
Serving as a commission member
Serving as a lay minister representing the forum and the congregation
Participation in one forum does not limit participation in other forums or
attending other forum meetings: however, identification with one forum would
indicate that most of a member's time, effort, and support, would be given to
the chosen forum. It is recommended that persons make a two year commitment to a
forum. After completion of one term, persons are encouraged to choose another
forum.
