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 />
