Review and Evaluation Committee

In the fifth year of each decade, the Church of the Brethren calls a committee to review and evaluate the organization and structures of the denomination and make recommendations to the Annual Conference in the seventh year of the decade for improving the effectiveness of our efforts to accomplish the goals and purpose of the church. Because several items of business were referred to the current Review and Evaluation Committee in recent years, their tenure was extended to 2029 should they need extra time to complete their work in this cycle.

Program Feasibility

The Program Feasibility Committee conducts a feasibility study whenever Annual Conference determines that an item of business includes an unfunded mandate. It studies the feasibility and costs that may be required of the board or the agencies and any other collateral impacts. The item of business is put on hold until this committee presents its report.
