Church Law

South Carolina Dist. Council of Assemblies of God v. River of Life Intern. Worship Center, 372 S.C. 581, 643 S.E.2d 104 (Ct. App. 2007).
Opinion No. 4216, decided March 12, 2007.

The South Carolina District of the Assemblies of God sought a declaratory judgment that when a church voted to disaffiliate with the Assemblies of God, its property and assets were transferred to the District. The South Carolina Court of Appeals affirmed the declaratory judgment in favor of the District because the Constitution and Bylaws for District Affiliated Assemblies provided that in the event a church ever ceased functioning as an Assemblies of God church, all its property and assets would immediately become the District’s property.
