The minutes are not public. They may or may not be available to members depending on the bylaws and articles of incorporation.

Church Director minutes are not a matter of public record and they may be sealed. However, if the church is a Florida not-for-profit corporation (a "nonprofit" corporation), the minutes must be made available to members of the church during regular business hours.
