Meeting opened at 1:18 pm.
Frank Lee presented his thoughts following a meeting with Elder Shue of CBCGL (along with Elder-elect Ho and Pastor Caleb) regarding the visioning process CBCGL completed three years ago, resulting on a focus on the community surrounding the church rather than the Chinese community as a whole. Frank presented a couple of lessons learned from that meeting. Frank stressed focusing on:
Pastor Jiang presented his nominees for the core co-worker team of the MetroSouth church plant, consisting of seven families. Discussed backgrounds and potential roles of the core co-worker team nominees, as well as the role of Pastor Jiang on the core co-worker team.
Board of Elders tabled approval of core co-worker team nominations to the next calendar year and, in collaboration with Pastor Jiang, to draft document proposing structure, function and reporting relationship of core co-worker team.
Board of Elders confirmed K.C. Chu as Chair for 2012.
Pastor Caleb introduced for reconsideration the new alternative church ministry structure (including financial reporting structure) tabled by the Board of Elders in March 2011. The new structure is designed to better reflect current operational organization of church and keep each congregation more aware of church activities. Discussion tabled to next Board of Elders meeting in January.
Pastor Caleb provided update on need for help for the Senior Pastor to provide more bandwidth for the Senior Pastor to focus on preaching, oversight and strategic responsibilities. Pastor Caleb tasked to develop list of Senior Pastor responsibilities that could potentially be delegated to Elders, Deacons, the Human Resources Committee or other staff or lay co-workers for further discussion.
Recapped next steps for moving forward with CBE project as determined during Church Council meeting earlier today. Survey to determine strength of Church Council support or opposition to the CBE project as well as a Concert of Prayer for Church Council members to be developed off-line in the coming weeks.
Elder Chaw-Bing proposed the formation of a list of potential Elder candidates for the Board of Elders to begin praying for. Board of Elders agrees in principle.
Pastor Caleb closed with prayer at 4:30 pm.

2011年12月10日
出席者：洪榮宗 (主席), 章開第牧師、蔡景輝牧師、張召斌、朱克潔、楊德禮 (秘書)、何明治 (待任長老)、蔡明哲 (待任長老)。
會議於下午 1時18 分開始。
李 文機弟兄報告他與羅威爾華人聖經教會許長老開會（待任何長老及開第牧師與會）的感想，他就羅威爾華人聖經教會三年來在所完成的尋求異象的過程，所得到的結 果是，教會專注的對象不單只是華人社區，更是把教會周圍的社區視為一個整體。並表達在與會時所學到的幾項功課，特別強調：
韋江牧師提出南區植堂的核心同工團隊候選人，包括七個家庭。討論核心同工團隊候選人的背景及可能的角色，以及韋牧師自己在核心同工團隊裡的角色。
長老團將核心同工團隊候選人的同意案擱置，並移至下一年度決議。並與韋牧師合作，草擬有關核心同工團隊的結構、功能和關係。
長老團確認朱克潔擔任 2012 年主席。
章開第牧師提出重新思考教會事工的結構方案（包括財務審核報告的結構），此方案曾在2011年3月的長老團會議提出。並認為新的結構設計，較可反映出教會目前的作業流程組織，並使會眾更留意教會的動向。此案擱置並訂於一月份長老團會議時再度研商。
章開第牧師提出為加增主任牧師在講道、監督看管和承擔重點責任的功能，所需協助事項的近況。章開第牧師將負責把主任牧師的細部職責列出，及如何授權分由長老、執事、人力資源委員會或其他的教會辦公室職員或平信徒同工分擔的可能性，以便日後討論。
教會擴建計畫，將依造今早教牧長執聯會的討論，來進行第二次的聯會內部的問卷調查。將進一步設計問卷詢問聯會成員支持或反對擴建的程度，並籌畫全體聯會成員的禱告會，讓聯會成員有機會為此計劃同心禱告。
張召斌長老提議如何建立長老候選人的可能名單，使長老團可以為此禱告。長老團原則上同意。
章開第牧師於下午4時30分作結束禱告。
