The manual was developed in response to a need expressed during the Church Size Summits. We are already in the process of creating different versions for various languages and countries, based on local laws. Be watching for updates in Headline News.   We have also created another new resource, a sample of a local church policy manual. This resource is designed to help leadership effectively manage the church and its ministry with decision-making and with accountability. Additionally, this tool will contain information that will facilitate the management of legal risks. For more about the manual, click here.

Scroll down toward the bottom of this page under the heading Pastoral Search to find these documents.   For an updated list of program offerings for 2012, click here.
