About Board Meetings

by H.B. London, Jr.

While serving in the pastorate for many years, I sat in many, many board meetings. Some of them were exciting, others somewhat depressing. As I reflect back on all those years of leading boards, I have learned a few things that I pass along to you:

Never enter a meeting without covering it in prayer.
Be in constant communication with your board in order to sell your vision in less official settings.
Be willing to compromise on some things. It is not important for you to win on every issue.
Stay on topic. So many meetings disintegrate when they are allowed to stray off issue.
When controversy exists in a meeting, be free to ask, “I this discussion God-honoring; are our attitudes Christ-like?” Don’t hesitate to stop in the middle of an issue to pray.
Treat every member and their contribution with respect.
Make sure each member has ample information to make intelligent decisions.
Remember it’s God’s ministry, not yours; His battle, not yours; His victory, not yours. Go forward!

“For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure” (Proverbs 11:14).
