Ministry bylaws are an important component of ministry governance. They constitute a binding agreement between the members of the ministry and the board of trustees. Effective bylaws provide clarity of purpose and explicit structures for managing the business of the organization. It is also advisable for the ministry bylaws to define the ministry’s relationship to Unity Worldwide Ministries (UWM).
Unity Worldwide Ministries is governed by its own set of bylaws. They establish the standards by which we operate and also define our relationship with our members. See the Bylaws for Unity Worldwide Ministries
The Association of Unity Churches, Inc. (DBA Unity Worldwide Ministries) Articles of Incorporation are also known as the corporate charter. Articles of Incorporation are the organizing document created to tell who we are, while the UWM Bylaws relate to how we do business.
