Any church heretofore incorporated may, subject to restrictions and limitations of existing laws, reincorporate under the provisions of this article, by filing in the county clerk's office in the county in which its principal place of worship is located, a certificate, signed and acknowledged by the district superintendent of the New York district of the Assemblies of God, and signed and acknowledged by all the trustees of said church in office at the time of such reincorporation, setting forth that the said church by majority vote desires to reincorporate under the provision of this article, the corporate name by which such church shall be known, the county, town, city or village where its principal place of worship is or is intended to be located and the names and addresses of the trustees who are to hold office until the next annual meeting of said corporation.
