Nothing in this Article VI shall prevent the classis (or synod on appeal) from determining, in keeping with the scriptural injunction of I Corinthians 6, that more than one group of confessing members of this church are each a lawful congregation and dividing the real and personal property between the groups of members as classis (or synod on appeal) may determine.

ARTICLE VIII AMENDMENTS The board of trustees may at any time, by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the trustees, adopt amendments to these Articles of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the preceding provision, the board of trustees shall not adopt any amendments to these Articles of Incorporation which are inconsistent with the provisions of Articles III through VIII unless approved by the classis (or synod on appeal). Before any such amendment shall become effective, the trustees shall obtain an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the church, present and entitled to vote at a meeting specially called for that purpose, of which notice has first been given as provided for under paragraph B of Article VII of these Articles of Incorporation.

For purposes of this Article IX, "volunteer trustee" means a trustee who does not receive anything of value from the corporation for serving as a trustee other than reasonable per diem compensation and reimbursement for actual, reasonable, and necessary expenses incurred by a trustee in his or her capacity as a trustee. Any repeal, modification or adoption of any provision in these Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article X shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a nontrustee volunteer existing at the time of such repeal, modification, or adoption.

If the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act is amended after this Article has been adopted by the members to authorize corporate action to further eliminate or limit the personal liability of nontrustee volunteers, then the liability of a nontrustee volunteer for the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Nonprofit Corporation Act, as amended. Any repeal, modification or adoption of any provision in these Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article X shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a nontrustee volunteer existing at the time of such repeal, modification, or adoption.
