By-laws are important in laying the groundwork for any organization. Although written in legal language to satisfy governmental requirements, By-laws also tell the story of a congregation. They encapsulate the vision, hopes and dreams of the congregation and are also a last resort in cases of disagreement on legal matters. They help the congregation govern day-to-day functions such as committees and Board structure, as well as deal with infrequent situations such as the calling of a minister and the purchasing of real estate. For all members, By-laws provide a roadmap for getting involved in key decision making.
