Classis Meetings

CLASSIS TORONTO

Classis Meetings

Classis Toronto is a group of Christian Reformed Churches from Toronto to Cochrane and to Oakville in Ontario, Canada. Classis links these churches together for ministry and accountability. A minister and an elder from each church are delegated to attend each classis meeting which takes place the third Thursday of January, May and September.

Last Classis Meeting: May 15, 2008 at Georgetown CRC. For a copy of the minutes please email: clerk@classistoronto.org

Next Classis Meeting: October 2, 2008 (NOTE the change in the Date!)
Location: Heritage Fellowship

Requirements for Hosting a Classis Meeting:

Space Requirements:

Space for sixty delegates and guests to meet around tables (a number of years ago Classis made the decisions to have classis meetings around tables rather than in pews to encourage discussion and be able to better see and interact with each other).

A head table where the Chair, Vice-Chair and Stated Clerk sit

Space should be able to be closed off from the rest of the church for executive session.

A room or two for Synodical delegates, advisory committees and ballot counting committees to meet if necessary.

Equipment Requirements

Three microphones – two for the head table and one for speakers (preferably this third microphone will be cordless so delegates can use it during discussion)

Projection System (not necessary but is helpful as many committees and speakers find it helpful to have a PowerPoint presentation and/or a video).

Photocopier – usually all documents will be ready ahead of time; however, sometimes it is necessary to have something photocopied at the last minute. The church will be reimbursed for the expenses accrued while photocopying for the Classis Meeting.

Food Requirements

Work with the Ministry Coordinator and Classis Executive to provide:

Coffee and tea with muffins or other goodies for when delegates arrive in the morning as well as two coffee breaks (one in the morning and one in the afternoon)

Lunch for delegates and guests

Supper for delegates and guests, if necessary.

Church will be reimbursed for expenses accrued.

* Lunch, coffee breaks and supper can be held in the same room as the meeting if the hosting church does not have two separate spaces to accommodate the meeting and food.
