Revision of Constitution & Bylaws
The CNH LCMS District requires that member congregations’ constitutions & bylaws be approved through a district review. This year we sent our constitution & bylaws into the district for a review due to a recent revision we made (which was approved by the congregation). The district returned several pages of comments (requirements), which require another significant revision of this document. Our church council has reviewed a new revision of our constitution & bylaws, which we have sent back to the CNH district for their approval. We are currently waiting for their response. Once the district approves our revision, church council will present the new document(s) to the congregation for their review and adoption.
Provided below are documents containing the district’s comments as well as the current revision of our constitution & bylaws, which we sent back to district:
