your church Constitution and Bylaws outda All
the documents on this computer disk are designed on biblical principles for
local church government that positions the pastor as the true visionary of the
local church. Placing the pastor as president for life so
that a board, committee or denomination can not control him. A pastor should not be in a position as a
paid employee that can be hired or fired.
They are not to be hirelings or puppets that are subordinate to the will
of men. A pastor is to be the leader
that God sets in the local church, making him “The Set Man” and not controlled
by man. And let us not forget that God calls women to be pastors also. Written in Microsoft Word format with easy to fill-in blanks
for all of your personal information concerning your local church name, address
and officers. With only one
