SUMMARY:SAS Large Church Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Simplified Accountable Structure (SAS) redefines how churches make decisions by simplifying the process. Unlike traditional boards\, SAS brings all members\, including clergy and laity\, together in a single accountable structure. This means everyone shares responsibility and contributes to decision-making. SAS encourages open communication and values diverse perspectives\, creating a sense of shared leadership. \nThe third of three webinars on November 20 will explore SAS for large churches\, with over 121 in attendance. Rev. Ron Brooks\, coordinator for SAS for the Michigan Conference\, will provide an overview of the single-board model\, explain the benefits of switching\, and review how the Michigan Conference can assist a large church in implementing this model. Register Now! \nSAS Large Church Webinar\nThursday\, November 20\, 2025\n11 am ET / 10 am CT\nOnline via Zoom
