Church Governance and Policies

Within the first series, Church Governance and Policies, the annual reports from 1977 to 1980 provide a detailed description of the church's activities and concerns after its move to the new facility. The reports reflect something of the personality of Charles Adams as well. The Leadership Council minutes provide insight into issues of importance to church members, such as the changing economic and social makeup of the neighborhood around the church, the importance of community involvement, and how to involve youth in the church. The folder of information for new members contains histories of the church and other information on the organization and beliefs of the church.
