Member Voting Rights

Each member of Rays of Healing Church shall be entitled to one vote as a member of the Church. Votes of branch church (chapter) members carry authority for the operations of the branch church (chapter) within the existing constitution and by-laws of the central church (non-profit organization headquarters). Votes on matters concerning church policy are given through representation. These votes carry no authority for governing the internal affairs of the corporation and do not constitute decision-making authority over church policy.
On matters of branch church (chapter), operations, the lead minister of the branch church will call for a voters meeting. Branch churches may perform administrative duties as delegated by the Board of Directors and within delegated authority.
On matters of Church policy, individual votes serve as advice to be given to the senior ministry, Board of Directors, or governing committees as designated by the board. The Board of Directors will determine when a full “voters’ meeting” is required. Advance notice as to when, where, and the reason for the voters’ meeting will be given. In the instance of branch churches (chapter) in distant locations, local members will give their votes to a branch representative. Branch representatives will advise the branch council of the vote of the branch church.
