What We Do
The primary responsibility of the CCM is to interpret the Synod�s Constitution, Bylaws, and resolutions upon written request of a member congregation, church worker, official, agency or other authorized entity of the Synod and to render opinions.  The Commission also examines all reports, overtures and resolutions to the Synod that ask for amendments to the Constitution or Bylaws. The major documents of the CCM are the Handbook of the Synod, which it revises after each convention to bring it into harmony with convention actions. It also has developed "Guidelines for the Constitution and Bylaws of a Lutheran Congregation" to assist congregations in developing or revising their constitutions.
