The Council of Representatives meeting is an annual business meeting hosted by the MBCM board. We hope for representation from all of our churches with an invitation specifically to church moderators, lead pastors and, when possible, one other. If your church does not currently have a moderator and/or lead pastor, we invite you to designate someone else within your congregation who would attend.
