Present: Jack Hung (Chair), Senior Pastor Caleb Chang, Ke-Chieh Chu, Terry Yang (Secretary)
Pastor Chang opened with prayer at 9:07 am.
Senior Pastor Caleb Chang provided update on discussions regarding pastoral staff assignments, initial steps toward closer collaboration between the Missions Committee and Social Concerns Committee, scheduling of and planning for church-wide events, redesign of the Chinese worship bulletin, review of membership requirements to serve in ministry, initiatives toward a more seeker- and newcomer-friendly environment, and stewardship maintenance and facility usage concerns.
Comment made that timing is important for attracting attendance at church events from families with young children; for example, 4 pm – 6 pm may be an ideal time, with provided childcare, as that time period would be between toddler and infant naptime and bedtime.
Pastoral Staff proposed amending the policy by adding the phrase “Up to one additional year of scholarship may be considered, on a case-by-case basis, for those students whose tertiary education was in a language other than English.” to the Ministry Scholarship section. Amendment to policy approved.
Clarified process for completing annual ministry reviews; targeted completion date of September Church Council meeting.
Proposed members of the Committee accepted appointment. Committee will consist of: Elder Chu (Chair), Senior Pastor Caleb Chang, Head Deacon Ruike Wang, Sister Sandy Teng and Brother Xinwen Wang.
Proposed members of the Committee considering appointments.
Detailed architectural and structural drawings and schematics for the canopy over the entrance facing Route 2 have been completed and are under review; contractors are being solicited to execute the project.
Presented outcomes of recent membership survey. Elders and Pastoral Staff to work with fellowship coordinators to complete review of church membership roster.
Discussed makeup of Board of Elders, including ideal number going forward and potential candidates for nomination. Any active church member who wishes to do so may recommend a candidate through any Church Council member, who will bring the recommendation to the Board of Elders for consideration according to CBCGB bylaws (Article 5, Section 1).
Elder Chu closed with prayer at 12:47 pm.

出席者：洪榮宗（主席）、章開第牧師、朱克潔、楊德禮（秘書）。
章牧師於上午9時7分作會前禱告。
開第牧師提供有關教牧同工職掌的討論結果，與宣教委員會和社會關懷委員會展開密切合作的初步作法、擬訂全教會活動的整合計畫、重新設計中文堂敬拜的夾頁、審查有關會友服事的要求、開創一個歡迎慕道友和新人的氛圍、以及有關產物管理和設備使用事宜。
討論結果認為，對吸引有幼兒的家庭來參與教會活動，時機是很重要的，例如，下午4時至6時可能較理想，因為那個時段介於幼兒、嬰兒的休憩和睡眠時間。
教牧同工提議在“Ministry 獎學金”項下，增加一段文字，作為補充規定──“對英語非其母語的學生，可依個別情形，考慮酌增至多一年的獎學金。”這項補充規定獲得通過。
澄清有關達成年度事工審查的作法，預定於九月牧長執聯會時完成。
通過提名委員會成員如下：朱克潔（主席）、開第牧師、執事主席王瑞珂、程中珊姐妹、及汪新文弟兄。
研修委員會正成立中。
面對2號路教會側門的遮雨蓬，詳細的建築、結構圖和解析圖已經完成，正在審查中；並開始與可能的承包商接冾。
報告最近會友調查的結果。長老和教牧同工將與團契負責人合作，建立更完整的會友資料庫。
討論長老團的成員，包括理想人數的確立及可能的提名人選。根據本教會憲章(第5條第1款)，會友可將建議的人選，提交給牧長執聯會任何一位成員，建議長老團考慮。
朱長老於下午12時47分作結束禱告。
