Embracing Change: 2022 Year-End Board Report – FMCSC Board of Administration

May 19, 2023

The 2022 Year-End Board Report from the Free Methodist Church in Southern California (FMCSC) offers a unique window into the transformative actions, exciting opportunities, and significant milestones that have marked this year. Led by Colleen Hurley-Bates, the Chair of the Board of Administration, the FMCSC is steadily navigating the path of change while staying true to its principles of love, commitment, and discipleship.

This video presents a comprehensive review of the year, detailing key leadership transitions, including the move to a single superintendent model, strategic hirings, and board restructuring. It also addresses the Board’s commitment to continuous improvement, illustrated by new guidelines for pastoral transitions, grant applications, and sabbaticals.

Furthermore, it provides an update on the church’s healthy financial standing and the decisions supporting that, such as approving budgets for various groups and grants for church facilities. As the FMCSC navigates transitions, including property sales and changes in fellowship, it remains committed to its core mission: to Love God, Love People, and Make Disciples.

We invite you to join us in this journey. Stay tuned for more updates on how the FMCSC is living out its mission and creating a strong, supportive community.
