Lessons From the Church Boardroom

Lessons From the Church Boardroom will feel like it's describing many of your own church board meetings. Disarming yet authoritative, enjoyable yet challenging, it quickly pinpoints an issue and then offers a better way to handle it. The bite-size chapters are certain to help anyone walk away with practical ideas that you can start using at your next board meeting. Dan Busby and John Pearson deeply love the church and share a passion for Christ-honoring ministry at the board level. They've served on boards good and bad, they've heard tales from others, and they've immersed themselves in the literature of what makes boards work well. Their lessons are both tested for theory and tried by first-hand experience. In Lessons From the Church Boardroom, we refer to the church governing board or simply the board. We are acutely aware that some churches have multiple boards, and that boards vary from church to church in both function and title. We honor these differences. We believe the 40 lessons that we share will have meaning across denominational lines and within various governance structures. We are prayerful that this book will serve as a catalyst for your church board to catch the vision for exceptional governance. We are hopeful that you'll help foster a ripple effect of enriching boardroom experiences that honor God. Like many, we believe that as the board goes, so goes the church.
