Region Delegates

Baptist life relies upon the voice of the people for its governance. In ABCRGR, we highly value the time and energy you will be putting into your role as a Region Delegate. Thank you for being willing to serve God in this way!

Board Transition 3-year term limit

This document visually charts how the current board members would transition into three year terms. Some of our current board members will serve slightly longer terms, others slightly shorter, in order to create a balanced board turn-over that will be fully in place by the end of two more transition years. You have already elected all of these members, so you are merely affirming this transition plan.

Delegates Manual of Policies and Procedures (Draft)

This is a draft document. This document is not being brought to the delegates for approval in its current wording, but rather the board is seeking affirmation of it's existence as a concept. It is recommended that organizations have a procedural manual that accompanies bylaws. This keeps bylaws limited to those matters that are most binding while still allowing for policies and procedures to be developed that enhance our cooperative nature. Once the delegates approve of it as a document for the region, the wording will be refined by the fall delegates meeting.

ABCRGR Constitution and Bylaws Revisions for Approval

Bylaws revisions made necessary in reverting from biennial to annual meeting, including language around annual meeting, terms of office, and so forth. Additional revisions for grammar, clarity, and procedural purposes.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

​We acknowledge with respect the various native peoples on whose ancestral lands we worship. We encourage every member of our community to learn about the original inhabitants of this land. We are committed to cultivating meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities in our region and supporting their efforts to fight systemic racism that continues to harm them. We pledge to listen to and honor them as they speak about their experiences regarding oppression and cultural genocide. They are the authorities on their own history and our role in that history. To acknowledge this land is to recognize and respect that the air, water, land, and all that inhabits them are intertwined with the spirituality of these people.
