Revitalize and Replant

When Committees Are Out of Control

Listen Later

Mark Clifton, Dan Hurst, and Kyle Bueermann discuss what happens when church committees go off the rails in a church.

  1. When there are almost more committees in the church constitution than there are people in the church.
  2. When the church has not examined, revised, and strengthened its committee structure in years (perhaps even a decade or longer).
  3. When the progress of the church gets bogged down in competing or controlling committees.
  4. When one committee is the power broker of the entire church.
  5. When most committee members can’t tell you what their committee does.
  6. When committees actually haven’t met or functioned for years.
  7. When committees meet, but they don’t actually do anything.
  8. When committee membership becomes a goal for church members who want power and control.
  9. When the church still has business meetings simply so the committees can report.
  10. When no one in the church will publicly question the value of these committees.
