Article 1.    The officers of this church shall be the Pastor, Deacons, Trustees, two Co-Treasurers, Clerk, Assistant Clerk, three Financial Secretaries, two Auditors, members of the Board of Christian Education, American Baptist Churches Delegates, members of the Nominating Committee, and Moderator.  

Article 2.    The call of the Pastor shall be by secret ballot.  A vote of 2/3 of the members present at a properly warned meeting with a quorum of 1/3 of active members present shall be required to call a pastor.  A Pulpit Committee charged with presenting a candidate for consideration shall only bring one candidate at a time while keeping all deliberations within the committee strictly confidential.

Article 3.    Deacons shall be called for terms of four years.  The office is open to both men and women.  Those who serve are to be called because of their recognized fitness to provide spiritual guidance and leadership in cooperation with the Pastor.  An affirmative vote by a majority is required for each candidate.  In any particular year the nominating committee will not be obligated to present any new candidates for Deacon.  However, at all times there will be at least three men and three women serving as Deacons.  After serving a four-year term, Deacons are required to retire for at least one year before becoming eligible for recall to service.

Article 4.    Trustees shall be called for terms of three years.  Six Trustees must be serving at all times. An affirmative vote by a majority is required for each candidate.  After serving three years, Trustees will be required to retire for at least one year before becoming eligible for recall to service.  If it becomes impossible to find a suitable candidate to serve as a Trustee to fill out the requirement of having six Trustees, the church may waive the retirement of a retiring Trustee for one three year term.  This will require a 2/3 vote of the members present and voting.  This Trustee will have the option of resigning after one year.  No Trustee shall serve more than two terms without taking a year of retirement.

Article 5.    The Offices of Co-Treasurer,    Clerk, Assistant Clerk, the Financial Secretaries, Auditors, Board of Christian Education, and Moderator will all be called by majority vote for terms of one year.  The Auditors and Moderator shall serve no more than three terms without a retirement of at least one year.  Other officers will have no retirement requirement.

Article 6.    Any officer who fails to perform their duty will be removed from office upon a vote of both the Board of Deacons and the Board of Trustees.  This may occur only after consultation with the officer whose removal is being considered.
