The Apostle Paul instructed his churches that “everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way” (1 Corinthians 14:40). The Congregation adopted the following Constitution and Bylaws to help the members and its elected leaders govern matters pertaining to the Kingdom of God in a “fitting and orderly way”:
Notwithstanding any other prevision of these articles, this church shall not conduct or carry on any activities not permitted to an organization exempt under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and its Regulations as they now exist, or as they may hereafter be amended, or by an organization, contributions to which are deductible under such Code and Regulations as they now exist or as they may hereafter be amended. No substantial part of the activities of this church shall be the attempt to influence legislation, and this church shall not participate in or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office.
