(A) CHURCH CONSTITUTION Incorporates BYLAWS

CHURCH (as defined above in section (1)(A)) is a Bible-Obedient Church, which specifically meets all of the descriptions, definitions, criteria, practices, and strict requirements of such an honor, and therefore also (naturally) adheres to BYLAWS, and hereby fully incorporates, activates, and adopts them herein by CHURCH into CONSTITUTION by reference.

(A) Revision History (for this Document)

[8/8/22; 8/12/22; 8/19/22…8/25/22-8/30/22; 9/2/22-9/3/22; 9/17/22; 9/26/22-9/28/22; 10/4/22; 11/21/22; 12/31/22-1/1/23; 1/31/25]; 2/3/25-2/4/25; 2/26/25; 3/5/25; 3/7/25; 3/10/25

 

It is hereby explicitly stated and decided that CHURCH has authorized PASTOR and any and all other collaborative CHURCH agents to revise this CONSITUTION and all other related DOCUMENTS as much as is necessary to fulfill CHURCH’s mission in a way consistent with, and similar to, section (1)(C) above.

 

(B) No Legal Affiliations

CHURCH has no legal affiliations unless explicetly stated otherwise with any other individual, organization, church, or entity. For example, CHURCH is referenced in an open (and non-exclusive) List of Churches and its documents are posted (within a completely separate subfolder) particularly and exlusively for informational purposes on TrueConnection.org and they are not legally associated or partnered together in any way at all whatsoever. CHURCH spends its funds on Empowering and Helping the Truest Poor, and therefore TrueConnection.org is kind enough to freely post CHURCH’s documents without charge, as it regularly and customarily does for all other similar Bible-Obedient people and organizations with no special treatment or unusual accommodations. Therefore COOPERATION SHALL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE CONSTRUED AS LEGAL ASSOCIATION AND/OR AFFILIATION since each entity with a unique and distinctive unrelated name is independently governed and exclusively responsible for its own activity.
