Constitutions
A Constitution is the legal framework around which a church operates. Constitutions should reviewed and be kept up to date every few years.
The BUV has sample constitutions available, and a Constitution Review Committee that can read your draft revisions and give you guidance.
If you have a question regarding your church constitution or the BUV constitution, please contact the Administration Dept on 9880 6111.
