FAQ

Your church is at risk if clear governing provisions are absent from its bylaws. If they are missing, a judge must decide any matter brought to court on general principles of civil law.

So are church bylaws legally binding? Yes. They function as a contract among church members. Furthermore, although they are not required by law, they are necessary for your church to be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3).

Fill out a request form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS): The IRS requires all tax-exempt businesses to file a copy of their bylaws. Filling out form 4506-A will get you a copy of them.
