Page 34 Constitution and by-laws

SECTION 2: CHANGING ARTICLES II AND III

It shall be possible to amend or change Articles II and III in this Constitution only upon a unanimous vote of all qualified members present and voting.

ARTICLE XI: ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH

The ordinances of the church shall be BAPTISM and THE LORD'S SUPPER.

SECTION 1: BAPTISM

Baptism shall be by immersion in water. Those qualified for baptism shall be those who have accepted Christ as personal Savior, being born again and having presented themselves for church membership.

SECTION 2: THE LORD'S SUPPER

The Lord's Supper shall be observed at a time decided upon by the pastor. Those qualified shall be, according to the Scriptures (I Cor. 11:23-34), those who are saved and have followed the Lord in Scriptural Baptism. The position of this church is that open communion is unscriptural and not to be practiced in this church.

ARTICLE XII: QUORUM

No business meeting shall be considered to have a quorum without the presence of the pastor and twenty-five percent of the qualified voters. A simple majority shall rule on all matters unless otherwise specified by the Constitution.
