Bylaws Article II. Organizational Structure – Conferences 2. Regardless of the selection track, if after six months the church has not selected a Senior Pastor, the Conference Executive Council may appoint the Senior Pastor. 3. Regardless of the selection track by which a Senior Pastor and church enter into this ministry relationship, both should strive to continue in this relationship until the Holy Spirit directs either party that a new direction is desired. At that time, the Conference Superintendent should be informed. This relationship is not to be construed as a contractual agreement. 4. Voting in a pastoral preference expression shall be by ballot. Church members age sixteen (16) and above are eligible to vote in business meetings. 5. Absentee ballots shall be permitted by eligible members as follows: a. Local Church Administrative Council members selected by the Senior Pastor or Conference Superintendent shall distribute, collect, and secure the absentee ballots. The ballot shall be presented with an envelope to the church member. The member voting will place the ballot in the envelope, sign his name on the outside, and seal it. The envelope will be opened and the ballot counted at the time all the other ballots are counted. b. No absentee ballots shall be received after the church body has voted. 6. Only members who have attended church and given tithe into the local church treasury regularly during the previous six months shall vote in church business meetings. Those who have been members for less than six months are eligible to vote if they have been faithful in attendance and tithing during the time of membership. 7. In pastoral preference elections, the church shall vote on only one person at a time. The official “YES” or “NO” ballot shall be used by a local church when expressing its desire for a Senior Pastor. 127

The Conference Superintendent shall counsel with the Senior Pastor and Local Church Administrative Council and seek to resolve the conflict. b. If the situation cannot be resolved: 1) The Conference Executive Council has the right to call a church election. 2) When two thirds of the Local Church Administrative Council members feel an expression should be made from the local church relative to the Senior Pastor’s continuation, they shall, in a meeting of the Local Church Administrative Council chaired by the Senior Pastor, call for a meeting with the Conference Superintendent, who will determine if an expression is needed. c. If the Senior Pastor receives a two-thirds vote, he may remain at his own discretion. If he receives less than two thirds, but a majority, the decision to remain shall be made by the Conference Executive Council. If he receives less than a majority, the Conference Superintendent shall lead the Local Church Administrative Council in one of the three pastoral selection tracks. d. If the Senior Pastor remains after a vote of confidence, the offices of the Local Church Administrative Council shall be filled by a new election through the regular voting process of the local church within sixty (60) days.
