The basic unit in the Book of Discipline is the paragraph (¶) rather than page, chapter, section, etc. The paragraphs are numbered consecutively within each chapter or section, but many numbers are skipped between parts, chapters, and sections in order to allow for future enactments and to fit with the following plan:
| ¶ 1 - 99 | The Constitution, Doctrine and Doctrinal Statements, General Rules, and Social Principles |
|---|---|
| ¶ 101 - 199 | The Mission and Ministry of the Church |
| ¶ 201 - 299 | The Local Church |
| ¶ 301 - 399 | The Diaconal Ministry |
| ¶ 401 - 499 | The Ordained Ministry |
| ¶ 501 - 599 | The Superintendency |
| ¶ 601 - 799 | The Conferences |
| ¶ 801 - 2499 | Administrative Order |
| ¶ 2501 - 2599 | Church Property |
| ¶ 2601 - 2699 | Judicial Administration |
