Hello all,

Although I have posted a few times before, it hasn't been very often or
frequent, so I'll introduce myself again. I'm Mike Intranuovo and I'm the
Records Manager at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. I deal with
public records, confidential records, and archival records in a university
setting. My question today falls outside the scope of my job, but someone
asked me and it got me curious. Here's what I'm wondering:

I had a person who is working in a United Methodist Church ask me what
retention schedule they should be using. I know the United Methodist Church
has a centralized Archives and Records Department, so I directed the person
there for answers. It got me wondering though, do churches have to follow
federal/state regulations when it comes to records retention? Or are they
exempt?

What about churches that aren't part of a larger affiliation that would
have a centralized Archives/Records Department to consult, like a
grass-roots type of institution? Where would they get their retention
schedule from?

I'm really interested to learn more about this. Thanks in advance!
