=== Organization === Members state that the church does not have a formal [[organization]].<ref>See: * {{harvnb|Bruce|1996|p=70}}; * Overseer Charles Steffen quoted in {{harvnb|Martineau|14 July 2000|p=A1}}; * {{harvnb|Maynard|11 June 1982|p=11}}.</ref> Members do not participate in, and many are unaware of, the church's governance.{{efn-ua|"A concern for public exposure may be the principal reason why the no-name sect has no newsletters or other publications even for its own members. The lack of such internal documents makes it difficult for members to know what is going on within the group, but, as Simmel observes, the less the members know, the less they will be able to tell outsiders if they decide to talk openly about it. The need for internal secrecy also may explain why the nameless sect has no system of government in which ordinary members participate. I[n] fact, most members seem unaware that a system of government even exists.." β''Benton Johnson'' {{harv|Johnson|1995|p=43}}.}} Although in the early years of the church a headquarters was maintained in Belfast,{{sfn|Robinson|2005|p=35}} no official headquarters currently exist and the church remains largely unincorporated. Both expenditures and funds collected remain secret from the membership and no accounting is made public.{{sfn|Gill|30 June 1984|p=37}} Funds are handled through stewardships, trusts, and cash transactions.{{efn-ua|"All property at the group's disposal is in the hands of individuals who are expected to make use of it for the good of the movement. Sites where conventions take place are owned by members and the monetary donations workers receive are theirs to spend as they see fit. Funds and other assets held in trusts are also secret with no public accounting given." β''Benton Johnson'' {{harv|Johnson|1995|p=42}}.}} No materials are published by the church for outside circulation other than invitations to open Gospel meetings.{{sfn|Daniel|1993|pp=9β11}} Printed materials are published for circulation among the members and include sermon notes, convention notes, Bible study lists, convention lists, and worker lists.{{sfn|Nichols|2006|p=88}} In recent years, contact details of members, including phone numbers and home addresses, have been compiled into booklets. These booklets are treated as highly confidential and available for workers' use only. Some members of the group refuse to provide their details for these booklets, in the name of privacy. Some members of the group see the internal dissemination of worker letters as continuing the practice of the early Church and the epistolary work of the original apostles.{{sfn|Crow|1964|p=27}}
