Rationale: The board was removed from the Minutes after the 2010 transition to divisional boards, but the proposal says its function still continues and should be restored. Proposed change: Reinsert the Youth and Discipleship Board into the Minutes with its selection process, duties, and advisory responsibilities.
Rationale: The motion addresses full-time service expectations for elected general officials and clarifies their vocational commitments. Proposed change: Require general elected officials to resign other Church of God appointments, serve full-time in their elected office, allow a limited transition period, and restrict use of office resources for personal ministries.
Rationale: The Church of God has historically welcomed all believers in Christ to the Lord’s Supper, and the proposal aims to codify that practice more clearly. Proposed change: Amend the Minutes so that all Christian believers present may participate in the ordinances when observed.
Rationale: This was referred from the 79th General Council and comes with a full missional statement emphasizing worldwide evangelism, missions support, and cooperation across the global Church. Proposed change: Add a new “Global Harvest” doctrinal/missional statement to the General Assembly Minutes, affirming the church’s global mission and commitments.
