16:13-3. Succession of trustees; tenure; decision of disputes
Every minister, elder or deacon shall continue in office as such trustee until another person shall be duly elected, appointed or called in his stead, according to the manner, usages and customs of the Reformed Church. If any dispute shall arise respecting the validity of the election, appointment or call of the trustees, such dispute shall be referred, for final decision, to the superior church judicature, to which the congregation is subordinate, according to the customs and constitution of the Reformed Church.
