Merger


To choose to merge with other congregations to form a new congregation or a community of congregations. A new congregation is where a single, integrative denominational, constitutional, corporate, worship, and fellowship system is developed and implemented at one or more locations. A congregation of congregations is where multiple congregations exist at one or more locations in a covenant relationship, but maintain some identity distinctiveness in their denominational, constitutional, corporate, worship, and fellowship systems.
