Our Coordinating Council is responsible for oversight of the purpose and mission of GRF and coordinating the ministry between annual meetings.

The five Officers and up to thirteen at-large members are voting members of the Coordinating Council. In addition, non-voting members include the Co-Coordinators (if any) and GRF members holding office in any capacity in the global CBF.

Officers’ one-year terms run from Annual Gathering to Annual Gathering. At-large members’ three-year terms run from their election by the Coordinating Council at its fall meeting. At-large members who are elected as an Officer continue to serve their unexpired three-year term after completing their service as an Officer.
