Church Bylaws Sample & Guidelines

Church bylaws act as the governing documents of a new church or an existing church and are typically originally formulated at the church’s foundation.

Guidelines to Writing Church Bylaws

• Meet with the church board to decide your bylaws and determine the focus of your church. The secretary of the board should take minutes for the bylaw meeting.
• Write the church’s official name, bank documents, bills, bank accounts and other pertinent documentation.
• Define the church’s purpose, what you plan to address through your ministries, and your legal status. Is your church a registered tax-exempt non-profit organization or do you have another tax status? This will help you define how you will operate in terms of donations and it’s very important. Only non-profit organizations can accept tax-deductible donations.
• Discuss the denomination of your church, If your church belongs to a specific denomination, it’s important that you mention this in your bylaws. This will help guide your church’s statement of faith or what your congregation holds to be true.
