Executive Board members consist of ministers, laymen, and laywomen. Members come together four times per year to determine policy, approve the calendar of activities, and make funding decisions that impact the Convention and the churches the Convention serves. HPBC is thankful for the many hours of dedicated work that Board members contribute each year. Members work voluntarily. Contact your church if you would like to serve on the Board or a Convention Committee. Members must generally be active in their church and demonstrate an interest in the workings of the Convention and churches in the Pacific Rim. Additionally, the church must contribute through the Cooperative Program and be a member in good standing of the HPBC.
