Certificate Of Amendment To Articles Of Incorporation For Use By Ecclesiastical Corps {516}

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION FOR USE BY ECCLESIASTICAL CORPORATIONS. This form is used in Michigan by churches or other religious organizations that are incorporated under state law to formally change their Articles of Incorporation. This form allows an ecclesiastical corporation to update or revise specific provisions in its governing articles, such as its name, organizational structure, or other foundational rules. To be valid, the amendment must be approved by the required number of voting members at a duly called meeting, and the notice of that meeting must be included as it was communicated to the congregation (e.g., through a bulletin, notice, or pulpit announcement). The form also records how many members were present and how many voted in favor of the amendment. Once signed by those controlling the temporal affairs of the corporation, notarized, and filed with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, the amendment becomes part of the official public record, ensuring the corporation’s legal documents accurately reflect its current governance and decisions. www.FormsWorkflow.com
