The 16 campaign commissions

Take this as a map, not an obligation. This model comes from a real multi-church campaign; scale it to your size — merge. A small congregation will hold five or six leaders, not sixteen chairs. But every function you keep must exist somewhere, carried by a name.

Three rules before naming anyone

“What has no name next to it does not exist.”
“An empty line is a commission that will never exist.”
“No one chairs two commissions” — you may chair one and be a plain member of another.

Tick the commissions you keep, rename a title by clicking it, add more, and note a lead. Everything stays in this browser — nothing is sent or shared. “Print” gives you a clean sheet of the commissions you kept.

One sheet per commission

For each commission you keep, then fill one sheet on an identical template — that is what makes the whole thing steerable at a glance:

Origin (Manual / Proposed)ChairMembersMeetsDecides aloneReports toMandateDated deliverables

The “dated deliverables” are the heart of steering: a table What · By when · Done ☐. Each commission is dated by its first deliverable — that is what sets when it must exist.

Count honestly. About forty-five to fifty people in the commissions themselves, plus fifty to sixty volunteers for the evening posts. If you don't have those hands, don't cut the functions: merge the chairs, but keep every mandate alive under a name.

→ The detailed logistics, phase by phase: Supporting a campaign. For decision and baptism without pressure: Walking through a decision. For intercession: Praying for the mission.

Model generalized from a real campaign-organization file (church committees) — names, places and dates removed. Foundations: Personal Ministries Handbook and Church Manual (General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists); campaign intercession practice after Mark Finley.
