The Fellowship's 2012 Task Force
The 2012 Task Force report recommendations are an opportunity for you and your church to help CBF move into the future. Here are three ways you can participate:
-
Send partnership letter. The Task Force report suggested congregations could embrace their identity by sending a letter outlining the details of their partnership with CBF. Learn more and view church letters.
-
Engage in Mission and Ministry. CBF’s new structure will include two Councils for Missions and Ministry. Get in on the ground floor by joining a Missional Community.
-
Attend CBF General Assembly in Greensboro. The revisions to the Constitution and Bylaws and nominating committee report will be voted on in June.
Proposed CBF Constitution & Bylaws
At its February meeting, the CBF Coordinaing Council approved revisions to the CBF Constitution and Bylaws that implement the 2012 Task Force Report. Read the proposed CBF Constitution and Bylaws and e-mail your questions to aweaver@thefellowship.info. The document will be presented to the CBF General Assembly during the business meeting on Thursday, June 27. A business breakout session will be held on Thursday afternoon, and the document will be voted on Friday, June 28.
