Church boards are often the scene of confusion, conflict, and chaos. What’s the job of a board? What’s the role of the pastor in relation to the board? Should there be an elder board and an administrative board? Ted Hull’s use of illustrations and analogies bring these questions—and answers—into focus.

Ted first looks at the foundation of governance, both from a biblical and historic perspective. Then he introduces Policy Governance®, often referred to as the Carver model, and confronts questions regarding whether this secular model can work in the church, or if it should even be allowed. He even argues for why a church board may not want to use Policy Governance.

When you’re done reading, you’ll never look at the role of a church board in the same way again. In fact, whether you’re a member of your church board or the board of any charity, you’ll find yourself reaching for this book more than once.

“With wit and wisdom, Ted draws from his rich and practical experience in church life and organizational governance to assist churches in understanding and applying Policy Governance® consistently and correctly.”

—Daniel Hamil, Ed.D.

Executive Director/CEO

North American Baptist Conference

“Ted Hull approaches the topic of church governance in an engaging style that has you laughing and nodding… Even if you tend to be a ‘doubting Thomas,’ I urge you to suspend your doubts long enough to read and absorb the message of this book.”

—Jannice Moore
