Church governance documents

Church governance documents are formal writings that outline how a church is organized and operated. They establish the structure of leadership, define roles and responsibilities, and set procedures for decision-making and accountability. These documents can include constitutions, bylaws, policies, and mission statements. They serve to ensure clarity, maintain order, and guide the church in fulfilling its mission and values. Essentially, they provide a framework for how the church functions, helping leaders and members understand their rights and duties within the community.
