CoBAMM Charter
Membership: Any men’s ministry of a Christian
church located in the Bowie area, bounded approximately by route 301 & 3 on
the east, route 214 on the south, route 193 on the west, and Duckettown
Road, the railroad, and the Patuxent River on the north.
Representation at Meetings & in Communications:
The chair of the various men’s minister or his designee(s) will be
considered the representative of the men’s ministry at that church. Men from
Christian churches within the area who do not have men’s ministries but have
an interest in starting such a ministry may also participate with CoBAMM.
The Mission of CoBAMM is
to...
1) assist existing men’s ministries to better encourage
and equip the men of their church to be ‘men on fire’ for God … serving God
at home, at work, in the Bowie community, and in the world and...
2) to assist men in area churches who desire to startup
a men’s ministry.
Our strategy is to accomplish this mission by the
building of relationships among the various men’s ministry leaders, by joint
prayer time, by the exchange of information about our men’s ministry
activities and methods, by CoBAMM sponsored ‘Man On Fire’ community
conferences, and by sharing what God is doing among the men of our churches.
Communication Methods: Meetings will be
conducted on an as need basis at the call of the chair. Meeting agenda’s
will be provided in advance. Email will be used as the common technique for
information sharing between meetings. Information about men’s activities
will also be posted on the turnonthelight-bowie.org website.
Meeting Locations: As much as possible, the
location for the meetings will be rotated amongst the various churches that
participate. If a meeting room at the Bowie City Hall or other similar
community buildings is available, they may be used periodically.
Meeting Reports: A summary of each meeting will
be written and the written report provided to all participants and CoBAMM
members.
Chair of CoBAMM: Gale TeSelle will act as the
initial chair for a period of approximately two years, ending March 31,
2007. After this period, the members will choose a new chair. The chair is
responsible for scheduling meetings, developing agendas and conducting the
meetings, writing and dissemination reports of the meetings, being a member
of the men’s community conference planning team, staying in touch with the
Washington Area Coalition of Men’s Ministry and report on their activities,
and facilitating communication within CoBAMM.
