Article II. Organizational Structure – Conferences<br />

d. A minister who is granted seconded membership<br />

status to pastor in a Conference will be granted seat,<br />

voice, and vote in the Conference where he is actively<br />

pastoring, but he must surrender those privileges in the<br />

Conference where he holds membership during said<br />

pastoral tenure.<br />

e. A minister pastoring in a Conference on the basis of a<br />

seconded membership status will be eligible to serve<br />

on the Executive Council of that Conference, but he<br />

may not serve as Superintendent without being<br />

transferred into that Conference.<br />

f. Upon termination of the pastorate requiring seconded<br />

membership status, the minister’s amenability<br />

immediately transfers back to the Conference in which<br />

he holds membership. However, if at the time the<br />

pastorate is terminated, there are pending charges or<br />

an ongoing investigation against the credentialed<br />

minister, his amenability shall remain in the Conference<br />

to which he was seconded until the matter is settled.<br />

13. When there is a change in the office of Senior Pastor, all<br />

paid staff members shall tender their resignations. Each<br />

may be rehired by the incoming Senior Pastor after<br />

consultation with the Local <strong>Church</strong> Administrative Council.<br />

14. All paid staff shall be hired by the Senior Pastor. Each staff<br />

member shall be directly amenable to the Senior Pastor. If<br />

the work of the staff member is not satisfactory, the Senior<br />

Pastor has the authority to terminate the staff member’s<br />

services.<br />

15. A Licensed or Ordained Pentecostal Holiness <strong>Church</strong><br />

Minister may serve as Senior Pastor of an independent<br />

church at the discretion of the Conference Executive<br />

Council to which the minister is accountable. The<br />

assignment shall be for one year. The Conference<br />

Executive Council may extend the time if progress is being<br />

made toward bringing the church into a Conference.<br />
