The elders may unanimously delegate to an individual or board the executive authority of any subordinate ministry established by the elders. This executive responsibility continues at the pleasure of the elders. In order to dismiss such an individual, or remove someone from such a board, a two-thirds vote of the elders is required. If the individual concerned is also an elder, he is excluded from voting on any matters concerning his own case. If separation of a subordinate ministry from Christ Church becomes necessary, that action may be authorized by a unanimous vote of the elders.
All formal actions concerning subordinate ministries will be entered in the minutes of the elders’ meetings.
