MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BY-LAWS MATCH YOUR THEOLOGY

PROTECT YOUR CHURCH MINISTRY WITH NEW TESTAMENT APOSTOLIC BY-LAWS!

Every church should have by-laws that conform to New Testament examples.

Avoid governing the local church with old by-laws that were written by someone other than 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.

We offer the essential need of every church, a strong Biblically based government established by well written by-laws. .

• Apostolic By-Laws are written in the concept of a Theocracy and not a Democracy.
• Apostolic By-Laws give headship and final authority of approving decisions for the local church to the Senior Overseer (Pastor).
• Apostolic By-Laws eradicates congregational voting.
• Apostolic By-Laws help eliminate hostile attempts of takeovers from boards, committees or spurious groups.
• Apostolic By-Laws uproot smothering denominational forms of government
• Apostolic By-Laws provide accountability for the Senior Overseer (Pastor) to an outside group selected by him/her.
• Apostolic By-Laws help avoid potential conflicts and uprisings within the local church.
• Apostolic By-Laws are totally complete, ready to implement and easily adaptable for special interest requirements.
• Apostolic By-Laws is written by a Senior Overseer for the benefit of the local pastor so that he or she can correctly govern the local church in New Testament manner.
• Apostolic By-Laws allow you to mold your Statement of Faith more closely to your personal beliefs and vision.

• 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!
