§ 431. Property of extinct Assemblies of God churches. 1. All
property, both real and personal, belonging to or held in trust for any
Assemblies of God church, incorporated or reincorporated or supervisory
under this article, that has or shall become extinct, shall at the
option of the New York district of the Assemblies of God, vest in and
become the property of the New York district of the Assemblies of God
and its successors and assigns; provided that this section shall not
affect the reversionary interests of any person or corporation in such
property or any valid lien thereon.

2. An Assemblies of God church, incorporated or reincorporated under
this article, which fails to hold regular worship services, such
services being distinguished from committee or business meetings, for a
period of six months, may be declared by the New York district of the
Assemblies of God to be dissolved and extinct, said New York district of
the Assemblies of God being the immediate supervisory body over the
local church within this state.

3. Whenever the New York district of the Assemblies of God dissolves
or declares extinct a particular church under this section; upon
petition by the New York district of the Assemblies of God to the
supreme or county court and upon satisfactory proof of the facts leading
to such dissolution, the court shall have jurisdiction to grant an order
to the effect that all property of whatever kind which may have belonged
to or have been held by said church shall vest in the New York district
of the Assemblies of God in as full and ample a manner as the same shall
theretofore have been vested in the church so declared to be dissolved
and extinct. There shall be recorded in the office of the clerk of the
county in which the church is located, a certified copy of the
resolution of the New York district of the Assemblies of God declaring
such church extinct and the court order transferring the title of the
church property; and the recording of such a resolution and court order
shall be proof of the vesting of title of the real property of such
church in the New York district of the Assemblies of God.
