Article VIII

Discipline

Every church family member gives implied consent to submit to the discipline of the church, as outlined in Matthew 18:15-20. If it is found necessary to bring a matter before the church, this intent and the charges involved shall first be communicated in writing to the offending party at least ten (10) days prior to bringing the matter before the church. Any person indicating sincere repentance and showing the fruits thereof shall be restored to full fellowship in the church.
