            *This committee is established by the exception provided for in:  ARTICLE VII, Section 1 of the Church Constitution.

ARTICLE V

Being mindful of Mathew 18:15-17 and the Church Covenant, any member having a complaint against or finding some fault with another member of this Church should first take their complaint to the Board of Deacons before bringing the complaint before the Church Body (when the complaint is against an employee, it should be taken to the Board of Trustees). The complaint shall be given due consideration by the Board(s) and a satisfactory resolution of the problem attempted.

ARTICLE VI

These Bylaws may be amended at any regular or called business meeting of the church provided two weeks’ notice of such proposed amendment(s) shall have been given. The requested change must appear in writing, giving article, page number, and paragraph of the proposed amendment(s). A majority vote of those members present is necessary to pass an amendment.

ARTICLE VII

Except as otherwise specified, passage of motions and other issues at all business meetings shall be by majority vote. All business meetings of the church shall be governed by rules of decorum as outlined below:

Motions

1.     All business shall be presented by a motion made by one Member, seconded by another Member, and presented in writing by the mover, if required by the Moderator.

2.     No discussion can properly be conducted until the motion is made, seconded, and stated by the Moderator.

3.    A motion cannot be withdrawn after it has been discussed except by the unanimous consent of the Body.

4.    A motion, having been discussed, must be put to vote, unless withdrawn, laid on the table, referred, or postponed.

5.    A motion lost should not be recorded except so ordered by the Body at the time.

6.    A motion lost cannot be renewed at the same meeting except by unanimous consent.

7.    A motion should contain but one distinct proposition.

8.    Only one question can properly be before the meeting at the same time. No second motion can be allowed to interrupt one already under debate, except a motion to amend, to substitute, to commit, to postpone, to lay on the table, call for the previous question, or to adjourn.

9.    These subsidiary motions just named cannot be interrupted by any other motion; nor can any other motion be applied to them, except that to amend, which may be done by specifying some time, place, or purpose.

10.   Nor can these motions interrupt or supersede each other; only that a motion to adjourn is always in order except while a member has the floor or a question is being taken.
