The mission of the Leadership Advisory Council (LAC) is to coordinate and evaluate the work of the organizations (ministries, auxiliaries, etc.) of Greater First Church. Evaluation provides a means of assessing the effective stewardship of the resources of leadership, energies and commitments to the mission and programs of the church. The Leadership Advisory Council is composed of all appointed and approved leaders in the church (including paid staff such as the Minister of Music and Church Secretary) and meets quarterly on Wednesday after the second Sunday in January, April, July, and October. Auxiliaries and ministry leaders are required to prepare quarterly reports for presentation and review each quarter. The LAC holds a special meeting in December to prepare the Church Annual Calendar for the coming year. An Annual Year End Fellowship Dinner is prepared and served by the Greater First Church Hospitality Committee. Evidenced-based practice has shown that the more time spent in planning will produce more positive results in reaching mission and ministry goals.
