Why Good Governance Matters

Studies show a direct correlation between board effectiveness and ministry impact. MCG helps ministries strengthen leadership, maximize resources, and fulfill their mission with excellence.

Biblical Principles

Because effective ministry governance is an act of biblical stewardship, it must rest on a foundation of biblical principles. The Bible has a lot to say about how we should govern what has been placed in our stewardship.

Biblical Stewardship

Faithful stewardship demands conviction, commitment, and a high level of competence to meet the expectations of the ultimate ministry “Owner.”

Mission-Centered Thinking

Every dimension, or element of an organization, sacred or secular, exists to serve its mission. Mission answers the question: Why are we, as an organization, in existence? Keeping that question top-of-mind is central to governance success.
