Board of Congregational Services

This Board exists to provide specific services to congregations, as they desire. Consistent with LCMC practice, churches maintain control of their call process, but BCS is available for advice, counsel and support--including providing background checks. BCS will also create a recommended but voluntary set of salary guidelines, and mediate conflict within and between churches when internal efforts have failed.

If you are interested in serving on this board, please contact Mark Richardson (715)417-1317 or mjrichardson@augustanadistrict.org.
