The Fellowship Council is the board of directors of the Charis Fellowship.

The Fellowship Council is composed of 15 members elected from three regions; five from Region A, five from Region B, and five from Region C. Additionally, the Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director serve on the council. All members serve one, five year term. The Fellowship Council establishes policy that guides the planning and function of:

• A Nominee for Charis Fellowship Executive Director
• Annual Conference
• Focus Retreats
• The Charis Fellowship National Office
• Charis Fellowship membership processes
• Strategic initiatives as we move forward to plant churches, training leaders, and do good for the sake of the gospel.

The Council typically meets once in January for 3 days and one day before annual conference each summer (in July). Commissions meet in advance of the January meeting via conference call to care for regular business and prepare for the January meeting. Expenses (travel, lodging, and food) for meetings are provided or reimbursed from the Charis Fellowship treasury. Members serve on one of three (Membership, Finances or Structures) administrative commissions and interact as a group about the future direction of the Charis Fellowship including the presentation of a nominee for moderator. They also review reports from recognized national ministries about how they cooperate with the mission of the Charis Fellowship and it's member churches.

Nominees to the Fellowship Council are presented each year to delegates at National Conference by the Nominating Committee for five-year terms. Delegates vote annually to select one new fellowship council from each of 3 regions of the Charis Fellowship.
