       Article 4: Members
       A. Member churches are those churches which have been approved
       by a vote at a regular meeting of the Alliance.  They must
       annually state their agreement with and support of the standards
       and purposes of this Association by way of the Form of
       Subscription and Church Questionaire.  Each member church may
       send their pastor and two other delegates to the meetings of the
       Association.  Voting privileges are only granted once a meeting
       has been attended.  Membership in this Alliance does not
       preclude membership in other associations or denominations.
       Membership is voluntary and can be withdrawn at the request of
       the church.
       B. Member ministers are those men who have been called to the
       ministry of the gospel who have been approved by a vote at a
       regular meeting of the Alliance.  They must annually state their
       agreement with and support of the standards and purposes of this
       Alliance by way of the Form of Subscription and Ministerial
       Questionnaire.  Voting privileges are only granted once a
       meeting has been attended.  Member ministers are not required to
       be pastors of a member church.  They are also seated as
       delegates at meetings.  Membership in this Alliance does not
       preclude membership in other associations or denominations.
       Membership is voluntary and can be withdrawn at the request of
       the minister.
       C. Member churches or ministers no longer in agreement with the
       doctrinal standards of this Association may be removed from
       membership by a vote at any stated meeting.
       D. Member churches or ministers who have failed to state their
       agreement with and support of this Alliance by way of the Form
       of Subscription and Questionnaire for a period of two years may
       be removed from membership by a two-thirds vote of the Synod.
