The process unfolds:

Biblical foundations of a ministry board:

The process in Acts 15 is straightforward – convene the decision makers, consider the facts, discuss, even debate the issue, find consensus, communicate and implement the decision. The process must also be wrapped in prayer, a desire to find God’s mind on the matter, active listening, suspension of assumptions, and speaking truth in an edifying and loving manner.
