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.
