Southlands Community Church Policy Board

1. The Policy Board is made up of seven members elected by the congregation. The annual election is held in May by the active membership of Southlands. Those elected serve for a two-year term and are entitled to serve no more than two terms before stepping down for at least one year.
2. Southlands is a Purpose Driven Church. The members of the Policy Board are the guardians of the Purpose. (ENDS)

   Southlands Community Church exists so that the people of South Winnipeg will increasingly come to know, love, serve, and become fruitful followers of Jesus Christ, to the Glory of God.

   We therefore, as a praying congregation, will be a Christ-like community of saved souls and fully functioning followers of Christ, reaching out to people, giving of all our resources and planting new congregations.

3. The Policy Board has charged the Pastors to work solely for the fulfillment of Southlands' Purpose. They have also stated in writing certain limitations on what they cannot do in the fulfillment of this task.
4. The Pastors are solely responsible to the Policy Board (and no one else) for the fulfillment of this task. The Pastors, however, still have certain responsibilities to the denomination who appointed them.
5. The Policy Board has set up regular procedures to monitor the Pastors to see that the Purpose of Southlands is being maintained.
6. The Policy Board has the responsibility to dialogue annually with the denominational leaders concerning the tenure of our Pastors.
