Structure/Bylaws

The purpose of the Structure Committee is to keep the bylaws and related resources flexible, while maintaining the legal status of the organization.

But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way (1 Corinthians 14:40 NIV).

Process for Proposed Amendments to Bylaws

The following is a summary of the process. See the detailed process which includes how many copies need to be sent, etc. by using the "Bylaw Amendment Process" tab above.
