September 8th Bylaws Meeting
Bylaws informATION and Meetings
The Bylaws Drafting Committee is pleased to announce the final draft of the proposed Church Bylaws is now available for review prior to the adoption vote on Sunday, November 17th.
After over six months of committee meetings, multiple rounds of feedback with the Church Staff & the Deacon Body, and an extended period of Church member feedback, the Bylaws Drafting Committee believes it has a thoroughly prayed over & reviewed proposal ready for a churchwide vote.
Our committee is grateful for all the feedback received. We have made improvements to the proposed Church Bylaws as a direct result of input provided by Church members. In lieu of an extensive addendum, our committee requests that Church members read through this final proposed draft in its entirety to review the document as a whole in advance of the final discussion and vote.
At the recommendation of our new Interim Senior Pastor (Dr. John McCallum), slight changes have been made to the upcoming discussion & adoption schedule, which Dr. McCallum will briefly announce in the service on Sun. Nov. 3rd.
IMPORTANT DATES
This final draft of the Proposed IBCLR Bylaws represents the best efforts of our committee to outline a framework for the governance and administration of our Church. We acknowledge those who have been hurt in this past season and have high hopes for these Bylaws, but we share an even higher hope in Jesus. Our goal is for these Bylaws to create positive dialogue regarding the future of our Church & its members, reestablish a culture of trust, and refocus our attention toward Jesus above all else.
Thanks again for taking the time to prayerfully read through the proposed IBCLR Bylaws. We hope you share in our desire to see the Bylaws work as an instrument of healing in our church. Please continue to pray for our church as we trust Jesus to lead us into what we believe will be a new season at IBCLR in which God will seek, receive, & use us to magnify His glory in our city & world.
