DOCUMENTS = Our foundational and formation
documents, such as CONSTITUTION, BYLAWS, Financial and Land TRUSTs, and all
other documents incorporated herein (directly and indirectly), as well as all
other documents which specifically govern and define CHURCH in any other ways
(as decided by CHURCH).
The most current, up-to-date, and authoritative copy of DOCUMENTS, including CONSTITUTION,
are available at: www.TrueConnection.org/bbdocs
All of these defined terms (in ALL CAPS) define and apply to CHURCH (as seen above in section (1)(A)), and will logically and legally apply throughout this and all other related DOCUMENTS. As an example (but not as a limitation), specific terms defined in CONSTITUTION are understood consistently and in the exact same way throughout BYLAWS (and all directly related DOCUEMNTS) by design (as decided by CHURCH).
If any question arises as to any definition in any of our relevant DOCUMENTS, the questioned terms will be clarified, construed, and defined (or even re-defined if necessary and/or helpful) by CHURCH decision (in the standard way, as defined later in BYLAWS), in the way that (A) gives the maximum benefit, protection, and freedom to CHURCH, and which (B) most serves its charitable and Biblical mission, and which (C) minimizes all hindrance, interference, and persecution, especially by parties outside of CHURCH, to the maximum extent as may be permitted by law.
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.
The most current and up-to-date copy of BYLAWS are available at:
[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.
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 name is independently
governed and exclusively responsible for its own activity.
