PROTECT YOUR CHURCH MINISTRY WITH NEW TESTAMENT APOSTOLIC BY-LAWS!
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BY-LAWS MATCH YOUR THEOLOGY
Almost all by-laws are written in such a way that even the founding Pastor can be ousted over any disagreement by a Trustee or Congregational vote.
Secure your continual leadership role within the local church with Apostolic By-Laws.
Only accept by-laws written by a church government expert.
Beware of inexpensive pre-written form by-laws that don't conform to New Testament teaching.
Most sample by-laws are formed around "Roberts Rule of Order" and do not follow the Theocratic style of government exampled in the Bible.

DO YOUR CURRENT BY-LAWS USE WORDS LIKE 'BOARD OF TRUSTEES', 'VOTE' OR 'MAJORITY'? THESE CONCEPTS ARE NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE!
- THE NEW TESTAMENT GIVES NO REFERENCE TO EVER VOTING ON ANY MATTER: In Acts 6:3 the Apostles asked the brethren to SELECT (episkeptomai) some spiritual men to wait the tables.
- THE AUTHORITY OF APPROVING FINAL DECISIONS FOR THE CHURCH WAS NEVER GIVEN TO THE CHURCH BODY, A GROUP, BOARD OR COMMITTEE BUT WAS ALWAYS LEFT IN THE HANDS OF THE SENIOR OVERSEER OF THE CHURCH. Acts 15:19 and 16:4 clearly defines that the Apostle James made the final decision and left the implementation of that decision to the other Apostles and Elders.
Apostolic By-Laws provide a balanced, well developed church government structure that will assure the continuing flow of Biblical leadership in your church!
