As the Church holds the belief that the New Testament places the burden of governing on a plurality of Elders, the Elders shall oversee the congregation and make policy decisions regarding the affairs, function, direction, and business of the Church. These decisions must reflect a clear biblical perspective and the best interest of the Church.
The Chairman or other Elders authorized by the Council may execute documents, deeds, contracts, and any other legal papers necessary to transact the business of the Church.
