Section 2: Administration

The Church shall hold a Regular Business Meeting in November, and shall include the adoption of a budget for the next year and the ratification of leaders. This meeting may be held jointly at a single location or may be the combination of congregational meetings held at multiple locations, and shall be specified when the meeting is duly called.

Formal notice of all business meetings must be given to the congregations of the Church at least two Sundays prior to the meeting.

A quorum for a duly called business meeting shall consist of the members of the Church present and voting.

Special business meetings may be called by the Executive Team as needed as long as notice is given in compliance with Article 7, Section 2b.

Votes on all matters of Church business will be carried by a majority of members present and voting unless a greater percent is specified in this document or in the motion itself. Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation may be made at any business meeting of the Church, by a seventy-five percent (75%) majority of the members present and voting, provided that the proposed amendments are in writing and notice of the meeting has been submitted to the Church at least two weeks prior to the meeting.

There shall be no voting by proxy.

If business meetings are unable to be conducted with a physical meeting, a reliable electronic means of meeting may be employed by the Executive Team to conduct a Church business meeting. The presence of participation, including voting and taking other action, at an electronic meeting of members, shall constitute real presence of or action by the member.
