The Book of Church Order (BCO) is part of the Reformed Church in America's constitution (along with the Liturgy and Doctrinal Standards) and includes disciplinary and judicial procedures, the bylaws and special rules of order of the General Synod, and the RCA's formularies. It is more than a rule book; it provides a way for us to live and work together as the body of Christ, following the admonition in 1 Corinthians 14:40 that "all things be done decently and in order."Much of the Book of Church Order is organized by the assemblies of the church: consistory, classis, regional synod, and General Synod. The BCO doesn't cover every question about Reformed church order that you may encounter, but it gives authority to the assemblies to decide many issues related to the general superintendence of the church.
