Re-Construction!

Oak Grove UMC is discerning if we should move from our current multiple committee leadership model to a single-board leadership called Simplified Accountable Structure (SAS).

What: SAS is a single-board leadership model consisting of 9 members plus the Pastor (BoD –Section 247.2, 2016). This simplified structure allows for expedited decision-making on important items, allowing our Church to focus on our mission of discipleship.
How: If approved through a majority vote of Oak Grove UMC church members the initial Board will be created. The initial board will include members from each of our church leadership committees: 1) Church Council, 2) Staff Parish, 3) Finance & 4) Trustees to create the board of 9 members.
Why: By simplifying the structure of church leadership, management activities are streamlined, freeing up people to have more time to engage in the work God is calling us to do so that our church to continue to thrive.

Next steps:
