§ 16:11-7.
Any Christian congregation connected with the United Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America, having an incorporated board of trustees, may change the number
of such trustees in the following manner: Written notice of the proposed change, authorized by the existing board of trustees
or signed by at least 7 members of the congregation entitled to vote on the question,
shall be conspicuously posted at the main entrance of the congregation's usual place
of meeting for public worship, at least 10 days previous to the date of the annual
business meeting at which it is intended to take action on the proposed change. At such meeting the congregation shall determine by by-law or resolution the number
of trustees of which the board shall thereafter be composed, which number shall be
3 or any multiple of 3. The congregation shall then elect, by a plurality of the votes cast by the members
thereof having the qualifications provided in section 16:11-5 of this Title, the number of trustees so determined, which trustees and their successors
shall be apportioned and hold office for the terms and have the qualifications of
trustees as provided in section 16:11-1 of this Title. The terms of all trustees theretofore elected shall end as soon as their successors
shall be elected, when any such change is made.
