By-Laws, Discipline, and Structuring for Lawsuits

The greatest concern for the church is liability.  Even before calamity [lawsuits] strike us, we should be equipped to respond on a Biblical basis.  As regards church discipline, we can only do what is clearly defined in our By-Laws.

Why Does The Church Incorporate?

Precious little is taught in Bible School, preparing pastors to be the CEO of a Corporation, the legal entity.  In the vacuum of understanding, attention to essential detail is often missing, leaving the church vulnerable to a lawsuit.

Church By-Laws

The adopted By-Laws, totally define “how” the church is to be governed. As a Democracy? Or Biblically? Sometimes called the “Articles of War, they can eliminate in-house disputes, allowing the pastor to lead with the freedom and authority God intends but, requiring accountability.
