Sample Leadership Job Descriptions

The ECC Department of Christian Formation has developed a packet of sample job descriptions to provide a model for churches with no existing position descriptions for their leaders. It can, however, also be used to evaluate and improve written position descriptions currently in use by churches. This resource can be downloaded here.

Church Governance Models

The ECC has developed a range of models that all meet the criteria for congregational polity. In applying the key principle that congregations retain authority and delegate responsibility, the three models differ in how much is delegated and how many are involved. Click here to download the three model constitutions (Board, Council, and Leadership Team). An overview of the three models is also available. (Note: This resource is specific to the USA, and may need adaptation for our Canadian context.) 

Sample Financial Job Descriptions

The ECC Stewardship Commission has also developed sample job descriptions for Treasurer, Financial Secretary, Memorials Committee, Financial Management Committee, Major Gifts and Local Church Ministry, and Stewardship Committee. You can download these samples here. (Note: This resource is specific to the USA, and may need adaptation for our Canadian context.)
