HBD Guiding Principles

The principles by which the HBD Board and Executive Minister have agreed to operate as they lead the District. The document includes three sections.

1. The Ministry Objectives state the comprehensive ministry outcomes for which the District and the Executive Minister will be held accountable.
2. The Boundary Principles are the things the Executive Minister may not do, with the understanding being that unless something is explicitly forbidden, it is permissible for the Executive Minister to do it in the accomplishing of the Ministry Objectives.
3. The Accountability Principles clarify the relationship between the Board and the Executive Minister. They also articulate the accountability of both Board and Executive Minister to the Churches and leaders of the District.
