Episode Description
For many pastors, the AGM is something to be survived — not led.
A governance headache. A compliance exercise.
And for some, the meeting where old tensions resurface and trust quietly erodes.
But what if we’ve misunderstood the AGM?
What if, instead of just doing compliance, we aimed to build confidence?
What if the AGM could be a leadership moment — one that strengthens, not damages, your church?
Jo Gibbs (Reach Australia) and Dave Moore (Hunter Bible Church) on how to plan and lead an excellent church AGM.
- Why good AGM preparation is actually pastoral care
- How to move from enduring the AGM to envisioning it
- Why “no surprises” is kindness, not bureaucracy
- What faithful impact and financial reporting really look like
- And what a genuinely Jesus-honouring AGM would feel like
