Official Church Info on Disciplinary Councils

Newsroom - What happens at a Church disciplinary council? Before Church discipline is ever considered, a local leader will meet with the individual — often many times — to discuss the nature of the behavior in question and to help them prepare to overcome their challenges.

I silently prayed and asked, “Why me?” After closing my prayer, I remember having two distinct thoughts. First, I realized I had volunteered to join the military many years before. It was my choice.
