4. DUPLICATION, CANCELLATION, SUSPENSION OR WITHDRAWAL OF MEMBERSHIP:
   1. Duplication:

      MFCC recognizes the free will of all men to worship God as it biblically fits, and as long as such is completely in line with the teaching of the Bible. MFCC shall therefore not stop any member from also maintaining membership in any other Bible believing Christian Church/organization, though we encourage loyalty to MFCC.

      
      
   2. Cancellation/Suspension of membership:

      The appropriate bodies formed by the corresponding coordination committees shall be vested with the power to cancel and/or suspend the membership of any member or group in accordance with the provisions of Article 7A and 7B of this constitution. This must be implemented in written notice which must be sent with purpose to reach the concerned member no less than five business days from intended day of membership cancellation. Persons impacted by this provision may appeal the decision to the immediate higher level, all the way to the Global Board, and must not skip any level before reaching a higher level. Contacted appropriate levels are required to address any such appeal.

      
      
   3. Withdrawal of Membership:

      Though not necessary, it is recommended for members who feel strong about their concern to request the audience of the corresponding COMCT, DCT, ZCT, CCT, and GCT. Such request must be stepwise, therefore, not skipping any lower step before reaching the higher, except in situations where the fate of the organization is in jeopardy, or those in perpetration such concern(s) are operating at any level prior to the next level to which the report is filed. When filed, all in authority are required to review, and arrange a process for collection of facts by invoking Article 7A. The reviewing level is required to arrange a face to face meeting in every case where this is possible. Technology may be applied only in cases were a physical meeting is deemed not possible, or a risk to the process, or life.

MODUS OPERANDI

1. MEETINGS

   The Secretariat Director on approval of the Principal Coordinator at any level shall call for meetings. This must be done by circulars, which must reach the concerned persons in not less than five business days before such meeting. However, emergency Coordination Team meetings could be called by any member of the Coordination Team if approved by two third of the team. The message(s) of schedule of such meeting(s) must reach all the management team members in not less than thirty-six (36) hours prior to such meetings. The following will also apply:
   
   

   1. Coordination Team Meetings
      1. This is recommended to hold every two weeks. However, it shall hold no less than once a month at the community levels. That other levels higher than the community level, meetings are recommended monthly, but must be held no less than once per calendar quarter.
      2. The Principal Coordinator of the concerned level shall be the presiding officer at all meetings, except on cases of unavoidable absence. In the absence of the Principal Coordinator, Article 5, Section 1, Subsection B, Clause II shall be invoked automatically.
      3. Where issues need be settled by vote, the Principal Coordinator shall not be entitled to vote, but shall have the deciding vote where there is a tie.
      4. Lateness and absenteeism to meetings shall be pardonable only three times in a year and setbacks must be reasonable. Other occurrence will attract the discipline or a standard fine approved by the Coordination Team. However, cases of life and death, and performance of official duty are exceptional to this rule.
         
         
   2. Exceptions
      1. MFCC Coordination teams and various committees must meet however often that becomes necessary when planning special events or needing to meet a specific deadline.
      2. While meetings may be scheduled on any day of the week, including Sundays, none is allowed to be scheduled while services are in progress. Additionally, a service does not count as except on rare occasions when effectiveness of such meeting may be impacted.
      3. Meetings cancelled as a result of weather or social unrests are OK.
         
         
2. ANNUAL CONVENTION

   This shall be held at Global and National levels only and shall last for three to five (3-5) days. Part of its program of activities shall be the following:
   
   

   1. Book, gospel music and movie launching.
   2. Seminars.
   3. The MFCC re-union dinner.
   4. Ordinations.
   5. Coordination Team audit report presentation.
   6. Coordination Team elections of corresponding level.
   7. Encourage global, continental, zonal, national, divisional, and regional fellowships.
      
      
3. ANNUAL STATE OF THE FAITH INITIATIVE

   This intensive prayer event shall be held at all levels and shall last for three (3) days following the 40-day fasting. It shall conclude by the Global Principal Coordinator offering a message on the State of the Faith for the Global Church. Its purpose shall be the following:
   
   

   1. Individual members, disciples, leaders/coordinators, and the Church at large will use this experience as an opportunity to weigh the standing of their faith in God.
   2. Create a window to reconnect with God.
   3. Offer renewed commitment to God.
   4. Evangelize massively to the world.
   5. Organize events of goodwill.
   6. Organize community development events.
   7. Finalize and award medals for the Faith Unity Games. This may be held as a separate annual event when the church has grown to cover a large number of states.

4. OPERATION AUDIT

   All operations shall be audited annually for compliance with guidelines of the organization, and associated Federal, State. Province, County, and local regulations. Non compliance should attract warning and if ignored will attract the removal of corresponding officer(s).
   
   

5. DINOMINATION

   This Church shall be a discipleship denomination and prayer driven Church, rather than a membership driven Church. All activities must therefore be driven by a discipleship model.
   
   

6. EVANGELISM

   Flyers must be generated. This must be strategic. Needs to hold once per week in every community. All evangelists need to meet at the Church facility, pray together before going out. No one person is allowed to go out alone, or be left along during evangelism.
   
   

7. MEMBERSHIP

   Anyone who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior, accepts the Bible in its entirety, and has completed the membership class is qualified.
   
   

8. BAPTISM

   Participants must have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior. Must be at least thirteen years of age, and clearly understand the purpose. Must already be a member who has completed the baptism class. This is required for discipleship.
   
   

9. DISCIPLESHIP

   This requires the acceptance of Jesus Christ and Lord and personal Savior. It also requires baptism within the organization. Third party baptism does not count toward this direction. Only disciples will constitute the church workers, except for special events when contracted help may be needed.
   
   

10. FINANCIAL RECORDING

    All recordings including financial must be done using an approved electronic system. Efforts should be made to build something for internal use, rather than expose the organization’s data to third party organizations. Unless otherwise prevented by malfunction, and shall be updated no later than 72 hours following the restoration of such system. All such information (revenue and expense report) must be made available upon request. Under no conditions should blank checks be signed and handed over to any individual or group within or outside the organization. Internal policies and procedure must be stablished to ensure that structure is injected in all financial decisions. Such structure must include various levels of approvals with a focus on the ultimate success of the organization, and must not be circumvented for personal gain. While investments of member and disciples may be promoted, such must not be to the detriment of the organization, or other members/disciples. Efforts must be made to promote unity by working together as a family in all provisions.
    
    

11. FUNDRASING

    This may be mentioned as part of announcements, but isolated from worship service to the extent possible. Under no condition should the blessings of God be pronounced on the basis of funding, revenue generation, or donation. All messages shall therefore be focused purely on enriching the congregation with the scriptures. This must apply to all preachers, regardless of level. Concrete effort must therefore be made to prevent discomfort of any as a result of inability to donate, give, or offer financially, or materially. Under no condition shall any Principal Coordinator pressure members and/or disciples to make personal gifts or celebrations, as such shall be ground for immediate removal, even if pending investigation. However, gifts may be extended within the brethren, but must not be by solicitation from any leader. This provision does not prevent parish members from tendering applications for church assistance. When tendered, such application must be considered fairly among others without prejudice, or undue advantage.
    
    

12. SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE STRUCTURE

    The organization’s signature worship services shall hold on Sundays and will include, but not necessarily limited to the following:
    
    

    1. Sunday School/Bible College.
    2. Opening Prayer.
    3. Praise and Worship.
    4. Intercessory Prayer.
    5. Bible Reading and Point in the Scripture.
    6. Announcements and Welcome of Guests.
    7. Offering and Tithes.
    8. Special Choir Ministration.
    9. Sermon.
    10. Prayer for the Preacher.
    11. Any other announcement and closing prayer.
        
        
13. MIDWEEK SERVICE STRUCTURE

    Prayer, praise, and intensive Bible review sessions may be organized for midweek engagements.
    
    

14. SPECIAL SERVICES

    There shall be special services tailored to meet the spiritual need of the corresponding community, region, division, zone, continent, and the globe.
    
    

15. WELCOMING GUESTS

    Ushers should provide and retrieve guest cards before the announcement. Choir should create a unique guest welcome song. During welcome song, as many members of the congregation as possible (including the Community Principal Coordinator), if not all should rise, go to the guest, and offer a warm welcome. Announcer should reference guests by name on the card, pay special attention and pray for all guests. At the end of every service, a 5-10-minute meeting should be held with all guests on the same day of first arrival to discuss the Church, history, objective, mission, vision. During this meeting, an attempt should be made to identify previous experience working for a Church, and the appropriate team leader notified of such. No pressure should be placed on any guest to join the Church, and membership to any other Church must be respected. Such meetings should start and end with no more than a 10-second prayer. All leaders, if not all members should be encouraged to reach out to guests within the same week of first visit. Such outreach should be to express appreciation for worshipping with us.
    
    

16. COMMUNITY PRINCIPAL COORDINATOR TRANSFER

    No Community Principal Coordinator owns any MFCC Community. Community Principal Coordinators may therefore be transferred to other locations to meet the need of the organization. Such transfer must be assigned by the Division Coordination Team, and will not be done in spite. Performing this in spite is grounds for removal of all concerned.
    
    

17. DECISION MAKING

    At the community level, the Principal Coordinator must continuously express vision to the entire congregation. Decision making must involve all the members of the coordination team. Unless urgency is required, a decision review gap must be created to allow for all to reflect on direction. Same window may be extended to members and disciples. At other levels, decisions will be purely by vote, and require a decision review gap of lower levels. On rare occasions, gaps may be overruled to address urgency in need: with adequate planning, this is not expected to occur at close intervals.
    
    

18. EVENT OR SERMON SCHEDULE

    Under no condition shall any Principal Coordinator and/or other leaders at any level of the organization create unplanned programs and/or forcefully change established preaching schedules to favor a friend in town. Officers are also prohibited from engaging in invitation of their friends to minister for honorarium, in exchange of similar for them in other locations whether internal and external to the organization. This behavior may constitute grounds for removal. Invitation of guest ministers must be well planned, except in rare occasions where such is deemed not possible due to logistics and/or spiritual constraints. Unknown preachers invited by reference must be avoided except on cases where the spiritual ground of such minister is well understood and documented. A mode of service and sermon guideline must be made available and verbally explained to all guest ministers: including repeat ministers. Such document will include a sign-off, indicating understanding, agreement, and promise of adherence.
    
    

19. ORDINATION AND LEADERSHIP ASSUMPTION

    MFCC at any level is and will never be owned by any individual or family. Therefore, community leadership assumption at any level shall not be by inheritance, family affiliation, or personal relationship with others. This must be based purely on spiritual direction, and must be prayerfully made through ordination and the Divisional Coordination Teams, with the guide of the Regional Coordination Team, and presented to the prayer team for commitment to God.
    
    

20. OPPRESSIVE BEHAVIORS

    Internal to the organization, all, regardless of level or operation within the organization must be seen as equal, using the lens of the Messiah. Any oppressive behavior on the part of any leader, including the Principal Coordinators will not be tolerated. All may simply be referred to as “Brother”, or “Sister” along with such person’s name. This includes guest ministers. The use of religious titles may be avoided.
