SNU Membership
|
'Class A' members The SNU consists of 350 affiliated Churches that are autonomous in the every-day running of their activities but abide by a set of 'rules for churches', published as part of the bye-laws of the SNU. Each church, depending on the number of it's members, votes a person(s) to act as representatives at meetings of the SNU District Council meetings and national meetings. These representatives are known as 'Class A' members of the SNU. 'Class B' members There are individual members of the SNU known as 'Class B' members. These pay an annual membership fee of £24 and are entitled to vote at District Council meeting and on some matters at national meetings. Other Types of Membership There is a small number of Mission Churches, Kindred Bodies and Associate bodies and these are represented where appropriate by 'Class C' members of the SNU. 'Class D' members Church members who wish to be in closer relationship with the SNU, although do not want to be a Class B member, can become a Class D member of the SNU. They pay no subscription fees and have no voting rights, but they can attend and speak at district and regional meetings. They also have access to the SNU's newsletters and information circulars via their local church. |
The SNU has 'Members' instead of share holders who vote for an Executive Committee to run the company. The principle Members are the 348 affiliated churches & centres, represented by 'Class A delegates' and the approximate 2,480 subscribing members known as 'Class B' members. There are also 22 kindred bodies, represented by 'Class C' members, plus approximately 990 'Class D' members. Join the SNU by becoming a Class B member. |
