In the State of Missouri, what is the maximum number of the board of directors should be in the nonprofit org?

Question

Our original bylaws indicated six individuals to become the member of the board of directors. Due to politics and limited knowledge of the people at the place of worship, they expanded to 26 people. Also, the head of the priests serve as the President or Chairperson of the board. I do appreciate any insight information or comments that you can make. I suggested to the group that we should stick with our original charters. (The group acted more like a gang, by bringing their peers to serve on the board and making decisions toward their own.) Thank you for your time.

IkeT, it sounds like you're going to have to get your national church council involved in this.
