Synod’s equipping Leadership Ministry (eLM) unit has asked our Presbytery to review our human resources (staffing). It was decided to hire consultant Phil McCredden to carry out this review. In Stage One, congregations and ministers were asked to respond to a review. The outcome was that 50% of congregations responded and the review exposed cultural tensions on how the current presbytery teams function. Stage 2, Stream B proposed Presbytery Ministry Team Mod
- That the Presbytery adopt as its leadership model the Governance and Ministry Leadership Model as outlined in the Ecclesia Leadership Stage 2 Stream B Report.
- That this model form the basis of the staffing of the presbytery for five years from its implementation, (with a review to be conducted in the fourth year).
- That the model shape the formation of staff positions, recommendation for which will be brought to the Presbytery meeting of 15th August 2018.
Resolved.
