Effective organization and management can dramatically reduce the degree of confusion and uncertainty that exists when no specific guidance is provided in the operation of the church. Three general areas of church function - authority, organization, and administration - are covered. The Church Organization Manual provides job descriptions, committee policies, salary plans, church use policies, space utilization policies, benevolence policies, and forms which can be copied or purchased. Because of The Church Organization Manual's comprehensiveness, displaying a wide variety of policies and the requisite implementing procedures, it can be used with appropriate local modification, as an example by a church of any size.
