Constitution Article VIII. Church Property and Titles 5. In the very rare cases when a congregation chooses to violate the trust, it becomes the responsibility of the Conference Executive Council as defender of last resort to preserve the church facilities for succeeding generations of International Pentecostal Holiness children and grandchildren in the faith. 6. A Transfer Member Church may retain full control of any real property the church acquired before becoming an IPHC Transfer Member Church. Any real property acquired after becoming an IPHC Transfer Member Church shall be subject to the provisions of this Article regarding real property that apply to Planted Member Churches unless an exception to those provisions is granted in writing by the Conference Executive Council. 7. The board of trustees or board of directors or Local Church Administrative Council, if incorporated, holding title to local church property shall be elected by the church congregation and shall serve until removed and their successors elected. If a conveyance, gift, or devise shall have been made directly to the local church without reference to trustees, the board of trustees shall have the same authority as if they were named in the deed or devise. Any local church shall be strongly discouraged from receiving any deed to property by will or any other means which is encumbered by a reversion clause. 8. Notwithstanding any provision above set out, when property owned by a local church, whether incorporated or not, shall cease to be used for religious purposes in accordance with the faith of the church and provisions of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church Manual, title to such property shall vest in the Conference where membership is held. The Conference Executive Council shall determine that such use has ceased and the date when it ceased, which date shall be the date title vested in the Conference. The Conference Executive Council shall record such findings in its minutes, and such minutes shall be conclusive proof of such vesting of title in the Conference on that date. The Conference Executive Council may institute proceedings in any appropriate court 65
Constitution Article VIII. Church Property and Titles to acquire title and possession. If two thirds of the congregation of the local church shall move to another place of worship, retaining its status as an operating International Pentecostal Holiness Church Member Church, the local church may, with the written approval of the Conference Executive Council, sell its former church property or hold it for a reasonable time for future sale, and may retain the proceeds of the sale for local church use. 9. Each deed to an unincorporated local church shall contain language substantially as follows: [Seller], to [Trustee], [Trustee], [Trustee], trustees for the [Name of the Church] International Pentecostal Holiness Church, an unincorporated church association, and their successors in office. The following paragraph should appear after the property description: This conveyance is made for the use and benefit of the ministry and membership of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, in accordance with the faith of said church and provisions of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church Manual. This provision is for the benefit of the grantee, and grantor reserves no right or interest in the premises. This same paragraph shall appear in a deed to an incorporated church. It should also be recommended for a will devising property to a local church. C. Conference Property 1. Each Conference shall have the same rights and duties with regard to its ownership, sale, and mortgaging of real property as is set out above for Planted Member Churches. The relationship of the Conference to the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, Inc., shall be the same relationship as between the Planted Member Church and the Conference with regard to the ownership, sale, and mortgaging of real property. When it is determined by the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, Inc., that a Conference shall have ceased using its church property in accordance with the faith of the church and provisions of 66
