Board and Councils

FBEP is a para-church organization that serves the conservative element of the Mennonite Church.

A Board that solicits counsel from Council members runs FBEP. The Board selects Board and Council members from various Mennonite churches, conferences, and fellowships. The Board maintains at least five Board members and nine Council members. The Board meets at least twice per year at the FBEP facility, and conferences by telephone other times as needed. The Board meets with the Council once per year and seeks counsel from Council members periodically throughout the year.

The Pastoral Council is composed of pastors from across the FB constituency. Their purpose is to provide a link between FBEP and the churches who send students to FBEP. They pursue this purpose by reviewing the theological positions and sentiments of FBEP, by reviewing the texts that are used in classes taught at FBEP, and by representing the concerns and interests of the constituent community to the Board and administration of FB.
