Preserving the past to help the future
The Commission on Archives and History promote and care for the historical interests of the Michigan Conference. We maintain archives and libraries of historical records and materials of every kind relating to the annual conference and provide guidance for the proper creation, maintenance, and disposition of documentary record material for local churches and ministries.
Local churches are required to keep and maintain a series of records.
