THIS GRACE BIBLE CHURCHES — COMPLETE REDRAFT
Edition 2026 10 03 R2

Contents: 17 governing instruments, 37 administrative forms, 12 ordination and credential records, the KJB Scripture Supplement, and separate bishop/elder and deacon ordination certificates. Four editable Word books and their PDF editions are included. Individual instruments and forms are in the individual folder. The combined PDF has bookmarks.

These are unsigned drafts. Record actual authorized adoption, signatures, and effective dates. A blank form does not establish a completed appointment, ordination, affiliation, tax status, or civil filing. This edition does not retroactively adopt itself or supersede an executed instrument without the required actual action.

PRAECEPTORIUS is the internal Elders' Circle / Circle of Elders, limited to qualified and expressly admitted bishops and elders. The Founding Bishop is its sole initial member. A deacon does not enter by ordination or delegated administration. Assembly membership, recognized office, assignment, and Circle admission are distinct records.

The unincorporated description preserves religious autonomy without claiming blanket immunity from applicable civil law or every filing obligation. Financial and property policies are conditional; adoption does not initiate banking, fundraising, property acquisition, or employment.

Review the coordinated governance procedures before adoption, including founder authority and independent transaction review, voting thresholds, temporary incapacity, emergency reconstitution of an empty Circle, and succession after death. Preserve actual historical records and prior signed editions.
