- Description:
- Contained within the 3 volumes (1829-1987) are minutes of monthly church conferences. Conferences dealt with church business, such as hiring of new pastors, choosing delegates for association meetings, and cases against individuals charged with misconduct. Charges ranged from drunkenness to not attending church without a legitimate excuse. Punishment consisted of exclusion from the church. Volume 1 contains the church constitution, church decorum, and Articles of Faith. The typical order for the church meeting included an invitation to join the church, a reception of members, and the handling of church business. The minutes include some names of church members but are not membership rosters.
