Church looking to upgrade their equipment

If neither the Elder board, nor the Pastor wants to consider a change, then some major changes in leadership are in order.

lol, thanks for you input on how our leadership should be structured...


anyway, there is a building and grounds committee and they will be involved in the decision as well. but our pastor has input too...

Not my input on leadership.

Haha no joke Richard, I heard that. My 2 cents worth, is if you are looking for blowers/ trimmer upgrades go with RedMax. Ive had years of experience with Echo (doesnt last but maybe 2 years) Stihl (good product, just alot more moving parts, 4 cycle engine). RedMax is a strato charge engine, nothing better out there. As far as mowers go I have great experience with the Dixon Speedztr 30, rides like a champ! But again just my opinion. Own a landscape company and RedMax has seemed to last me the longest and provide the best quality job

well i am just a member and not involved in leadership and really don't know that much about the leadership structure. i just know our pastor gives input to our different committees. i believe the committees have the final say, but they all respect his opinion, as do i...

are you speaking of the bylaws of some religion? just curious now...

Just to let you know, roger is one of lawnsite's most respected contributors. I think HE more than anyone will have a pretty good idea as to how your church should be run. New lawn care equipment is the least of your concerns right now- you have to set your Pastor & Council of Elders straight first!

btw, never heard of the Council of Elders... looked it up and it's the governing body of the United Church of God. i don't even know what the United Church of God is....

it's all good, i did not come here to discuss religion...
