GRAND & SUPREME COUNCILS
All of the Bethels in a geographical area, usually a state or
province can operate under the guidance
of a Grand or Jurisdictional Guardian Council and these
Grand or Jurisdictional Councils operate under
the auspices of the Supreme Guardian Council. In some areas,
Bethels operate directly under the
guidance of the Supreme Guardian Council. Indiana is one of
the areas that have a Grand Guardian Council.
