The church is bound by God and
people, therefore, power and am
b itio n s lend to v io la te the basic
p rin c ip le s o f the le a ch in g o f the
Bible A church needs to adopt the
policy of a legalized constitutional
administrative process.
You r church constitution should
set forth the adm inistrative policies
subject to laws and by-law s in the
smallest details, with binding legal
ra m ific a tio n on the pasto r, mem
bers, and officers of the church.
The source of authority should be
your d o ctrin e and c o n stitu tio n ,
rather than rules built up w ithout
c o n sc io u s or m ade up at each
m eeting The chu rch co n stitu tio n
and by-law s should be written and
voted on by the church membership.
