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.

PLAGIARISM & AI ETHICS STATEMENT

Plagiarism—the uncredited use of another’s work as one’s own—is a serious ethical offense, and with the prevalence of AI, Dover recognizes the potential for a loss of trust in its usage.

As a result, Dover promises to recognize AI as a tool that will never be used as a replacement for our voice. AI may be used to generate design and images, organize communications, and assist in research and note-taking, but our commitment is to maintaining our own human voice in all communications.
