Whereas, these churches have unique needs for curriculum and resources for nurture, outreach, and witness ministry compatible with the financial and personnel resources of the church; and
Whereas, all general boards and agencies should continue to be consistent with the strategy of implementation requested by the "Report of the Study on Strengthening the Church with Small Membership" received by the 1992 General Conference;
Therefore, be it resolved, that all general boards and agencies continue to provide staff personnel and/or consultants with significant and demonstrated experience and expertise in ministries of churches with small membership, including nurture, outreach, witness, Christian education, stewardship, worship, evangelism, and team/cooperative ministries.
