  in the county in which its principal place  of  worship  is  located,  a
  certificate,  signed  by  the  trustees  in  office  at the time of such
  reincorporation, or by the majority of them,  setting  forth  that  they
  desire  to  reincorporate  under  the  provisions  of  this article, the
  corporate name by which such church shall be known,  the  county,  town,
  city  or village where its principal place of worship is located and the

  any  estate,  real  or personal, together with all franchise and charter
  rights, shall be vested in the body corporate  and  politic  so  created
  under  this  article and the original incorporation of such church shall
  be null and void.
