GENERAL BAPTISTS REFOCUSING OUR FUTURE By the Restructure Task Force

In April 2019, the Executive Council of the Council of Associations (the functional board of directors for the organization), created a task force to study possible restructure of all General Baptist ministries. The group was asked to evaluate the current structure of the Council of Associations, to develop a system and strategy to move us forward and to make recommendations to the Executive Council to implement a new system.

MOVING TOWAR D R ES TR UC TUR E O F GENERAL BAPTIST MINISTRIES EVALUATION AND RESULTING VALUES As part of the evaluation process, the Restructure Task Force (RTF) held several meetings between August 2019 and January 2020. In that time, initial data was collected and reviewed. A series of listening sessions were also held in February and March 2020 to gain additional feedback from across the movement. The data was joined with previously gathered information and the outcomes of the conversations of the RTF to develop a list of perceived issues and values to be addressed through the restructuring process.
