Whom do I go to if I need to report an incident or concern?

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:07:42 +0000

Many concerns are easily resolved by either talking directly to the people involved or the leader in charge of the particular ministry. In fact, in the majority of cases we urge you to do just that.

However, sometimes the concerns may be of a more serious nature. Especially when they involve children. It is important to to try to establish some fact or reasonable doubt without starting your own investigation. Please report any safety concern to our Senior Pastor as soon as practicable.

Or if something needs to be done immediately- ask a staff member or Admin committee member on site.

Expand The Lakes

Dave Sheath — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:06:50 +0000

As Christ builds his church, so we expect our church will grow numerically. We believe that we ought to be proactive in planning for expansion growth.

Expanding goals for 2010:

We aim to expand by 10% each year.
We want to employ one full-time pastor per 100 adults (or part thereof).
We aim to raise $6,000 each month towards the purchase of a block of land (or existing building).

Annual General Meeting

Our AGM is more exciting than it sounds. It is an opportunity to review the year and present ministry strategies for the future. It’s an opportunity to reset our vision as we seek to fulfil our mission.

The AGM is one of the key events that we ask all our members to attend each year. To vote at the AGM you need to be a formal member of The Lakes.

Administration Committee

Our Administration Committee over the past year has consisted of David Sheath (President), Michael Lowbridge (Secretary), Craig Ayling (Treasurer), Hayley Charters and Colin Montiford. The Administration Committee plays a key role in managing the finances and assets of The Lakes. They meet monthly on Monday nights.

Selection Panel

The Selection Panel has consisted of Craig Ayling, Michael Lowbridge and John Eves. The Selection Panel have the responsibility of recommending a replacement Senior Pastor should the need arise. The Selection Panel do not meet unless the need arises.
