Union Baptist Association

Associational Leadership Council (ALC)

2008

The ALC was formed to establish a network of representative leaders in UBA who were able to deal with the complex issues of an association as large and as diverse as ours.  Prior to the establishing of the ALC, UBA operated with more traditional committees such as Personnel, Finance, Membership, and Bylaws.  While generally effectively, this created a situation in which people of one committee might be considering issues or making recommendations without having the opportunity during the process to fully understand what the implications might be in other areas.  It created a situation where actions could be fragmented or isolated.  With the formation of the ALC, the leadership network is able to make cooperative, interactive decisions that focus around achieving the UBA vision of healthy reproducing congregations cooperating to transform our communities, Houston, and the world.  Members of the ALC are carefully selected and approved by the UBA messengers.  Every effort is made to see that the UBA ALC is a representative body of leaders reflecting the full diversity of the churches of Union Baptist Association.  Diverse perspectives are not only valued but essential to our task of reaching this city and beyond with the good news.

 

While the ALC is directly involved with the general business matters of the association, such as financial and personnel policies and decisions, its most important function is to provide leadership in the implementation of the UBA vision and to recommend and become involved in implementing initiatives that undergird the pursuit of that vision.  Historically, the ability and commitment of UBA churches to focus on the cooperative vision of transformation has made our association stronger and more effective in kingdom work.  A primary task of the ALC is to maintain that strong sense of unity and cooperation among our churches in pursuit of a shared vision.
