The members of any such incorporated church may, upon the notice prescribed by section 16:2-1 of this title, by the vote required for the election of first trustees by such section, elect trustees for the purposes and at the times provided by section 16:1-9 of this title. The term of office of such trustees may be regulated by by-law or resolution of such church, adopted before their election, but, in the absence of such regulation, such trustees shall hold office for one year from the date of their election and until their successors are chosen.
No election of trustees of any such church, except the first election, shall be deemed invalid by reason of failure to give the aforementioned notice of the meeting for the election of trustees, if the time of such election is regulated by a rule or standing resolution of the church.
