What are Messengers and Church Representatives?
What is a Messenger versus a Representative?
A messenger votes on behalf of his/her home church at the Annual, Semi-Annual and any special-called Meetings of Members. Each church selects its own messengers and is allotted 2 at a minimum and no more than 7 (based on General Fund contributions given during the previous fiscal year). For more info, please read the Dover Baptist Association Constitution and Bylaws.
A representative also votes on behalf of his/her home church but at the quarterly or special called Executive Committee Meetings. Churches select their own representatives. Executive Committee chairs, directors, and pastors are considered voting members.

The Church Support Team (formerly Church Extension Council) puts forth the following motion:​
​​
Grant $5,000 from the New Work Fund to the Appalachian School of Theology for its Uganda campus after our approved nomination from Cool Spring Baptist Church.
​​
​NOTE: The Church Support Team is charged with the administration of the New Work Fund, a restricted fund. As per the New Work Fund guidelines, the Executive Committee must approve any recommendations by the Church Support Team prior to distribution of any funds. The Church Support Team is a standing committee, therefore its recommendation does not need a second prior to its motion.
