EMBRY, Justice.

This case involves a complaint by individuals who claim they were wrongfully expelled from membership in their church, and, church monies were misappropriated by the minister and church secretary. The complaint prays for an order requiring a congregational election to determine whether the minister should resign, and for an accounting of church monies by the secretary. The trial court granted a motion to dismiss.

We reverse.
