267. Work Area Commissions--When the size of the Church and the extent of the program indicate the need, the council on ministries or administrative council may choose to establish one or more work area commissions (Christian unity and interreligious concerns, Church and society, education, evangelism, higher education and campus ministry, missions, religion and race, status and role of women, stewardship, and worship). Where a commission is established, it shall work under the leadership of the work area chairperson and shall assume the responsibilities assigned to that chairperson. The representative of the work area serving on each age-level council shall be a member of the commission. At least two youths shall be included in the membership of all commissions. The council on ministries or administrative Council may elect other persons to the commission because of particular interest and competency in the area. The pastor or a member of the professional staff of the church designated by the pastor shall serve as an ex-officio member of each commission.
