​The Relationship of the Board of Deacons with Each Other and with the Members of the Congregation

1- Respecting the other opinion-whatever it may be- is important and necessary in dealing inside the board. 
2- Service on the board of deacons is commitment towards God. It must not be affected by personal grudges or problems if any.
3- There must be a positive attitude towards solving problems and differences through prayers, communication, and constructive discussions. 
4- Personal issues shouldn’t affect the service of the board or agreement on decisions.
5- Board decisions are based on the majority of votes therefore no one should get upset or take a certain position or act negatively if most members are against his/her personal opinion. 
6- If the board takes a certain decision, all members must work on its execution even those who were in disagreement.
7- Members of the board represent the congregation; therefore, the opinion of the majority of the congregation must be taken into consideration and not personal desires. 
8- None of the members of the board should independently take hold of the church affairs
9- There is no reason whatsoever not to show the congregation the board’s decisions as well as the budget. 
10 - ​The congregation’s confidence in the board members as well as supporting them is very important and can push the service forward.
