Guideline Leaflet C03: Church Constitutions

 
All churches need a comprehensive governing document that meets the requirements of modern charity law.  For a Baptist church this document is usually a constitution.  This leaflet provides background information about constitutions and offers advice on how to update your church’s own governing document.
