ELYRIA, Ohio—In order to emphasize the importance of vibrant resolutions addressing the needs of GARBC churches, the three members of the GARBC resolutions committee partnered with three young pastors in the association to draft the resolutions. The resolutions were written in a new “plain English” format to emphasize their teaching value to the GARBC congregations.
