A guide on running the HBS Christian Fellowship
This guide is a summary of lessons learned as well as tactics used that helped past leadership teams to execute well during the current academic year. This Drivers’ Manual should serve as a guide to help you in leadership next year. However, this document is not a collectively exhaustive listing of all relevant leadership responsibilities and can be unique to the times and tides of past years.
As leaders, the HCF is under YOUR control and leadership through God’s guidance. Therefore please use this document as a reference and guide, and feel free to make changes to this document is such a way to improve its completeness. We encourage you to present this document to the next year’s leadership in a continuing effort to improve the quality of ministry at HBS.
