Church Family Governance by Jeff Leake

Church Family Governance is designed to help church leaders discover the seven values of healthy function. When a church begins, transitions, or experiences difficulty, having a framework of values is essential to sustainability over the long-haul. In fact, you can have all the right strategy, vision, and goals - but if you don't have the right values, both your culture and your leadership structure can undo any progress you may gain. This book is more than a 'how to' book. it is actually a book about 'why' we do what we do, and then 'how' to build these values into some type of constitution and system. Because the book is based on values and not actual structure, it serves as a great guide for pastors, staff, boards, and leaders to decide on who they want to be before they commit to how they want to function.
