5 LEADERSHIP TEAM ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS SECTION II A. Appointed and Affirmed Scripture gives evidence of church leaders being appointed by the founders of the church. By this example it is implied that the existing spiritual leadership of a church be intimately involved in the process of selecting church leadership to ensure appointment is based on spiritual rather than superficial qualifications. (Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5). The MLT shall appoint qualified persons from the church membership, excluding paid staff members, to serve. The persons appointed by the MLT shall be presented to the church membership for affirmation. The MLT shall annually review and seek to affirm current members with respect to the qualifications listed in Section F. The process of affirmation is as follows: The names of perspective MLT members shall be submitted in written form to the participating members of the church, who will be given 30 days to show just cause why any perspective new MLT member would not be qualified to serve. Consistent with Matt. 18:15 and Matt. 5:24, any members with such "cause" must first express their concern to the prospective MLT member and then must also express their concern to the MLT. Following the 30 days if no valid cause is presented, the perspective member/s will be brought before the church body for prayer and adoption to serve on the MLT. B. Vacancies Should the MLT consider it necessary to fill a vacancy, the MLT shall abide by the above protocol in section II, point A. The size of the MLT will be in compliance with Section I,A,1. C. Quorum A majority of a team's membership will constitute a quorum. A quorum must be present for the transaction of business at any leadership team meeting. Team members may not be represented by proxy.
6 D. Actions of Leadership Teams The leadership teams will endeavor to act by consensus. Whenever consensus is not reached, a vote of a majority of the members shall be sufficient. E. Removal The MLT may vote to remove any leadership team member, other than the Senior Pastor at any time, with public explanation. A leadership team member may be removed only by a majority vote of the MLT. (I Tim. 5:19-20) F. Qualifications Be a member of HC and at least 21 years old. Affirm the HC's Constitution. Strive to meet Biblical standards for church leaders and demonstrate mature spiritual development, vision, leadership and giftedness in ministry. Possess ministry giftedness, experience, education and abilities appropriate to their responsibilities. Participate regularly in public worship at HC and be active in ministry. AFFILIATION SECTION III The Church is autonomous and maintains the right to govern its own affairs, independent of any denominational control. Recognizing, however, the benefits of cooperation with other churches in world missions and otherwise, this church cooperates with the Minnesota Baptist General Conference. DISOLUTION SECTION IV In a case of a division of the church membership, church property will belong to those members who abide by this constitution. In a case of the discontinuance of the church, the church property will be transferred to the Minnesota Baptist General Conference.
