STRUCTURE OF CHURCH GOVERNMENT

As Baptists, We practice a congregational polity. "It is that form of church government in which final human authority rests with the local or particular congregation when it gathers for decision-making. This means that decisions about membership, leadership, doctrine, worship, conduct, missions, finances, property, relationships, and the like are to be made by the gathered congregation except when such decisions have been delegated by the congregation to individual members or to groups of members." James Leo Garrett, Jr.

Governing Structures

Our congregational polity is manifested in the following governing structures:

General Mass

Church Members' General Mass Meeting convenes annually in January. All the church members have rights and responsibility to ratify and approve the minutes proposed and affirmed by the Church Council.

Church Council

Church Council consists of Executive Committee, Departments and Sub-Committees.Church Council Meeting convenes once in every six months. Church Council nominates candidates for Council Members, and shall be approved at General Mass Meeting. And Church Council determines and endorses the Church's and Sub-Committee's spending Budget.

Executive Committee

Executive Committee Meeting convenes once in two months. If situation demands, Urgent Executive Meeting shall be called upon and be convened.
Executive Committee consists of the followings:
- Church President
- Vice President
- General Secretary
- Vice-Secretary
- Treasurer
- Head of each Committee
- Church Pastors and Ministers
- Church Deacons

3. Motions put forwarded by Committee shall be adopted and ratified by Executive Committee on behalf of Church Council.

4. Executive Committee determines the Church’s and Sub-Committee’s spending Budget, and be adopted and ratified by Church Council.

5. If emergency situation appears, Executive Committee shall convene a meeting, and the meeting reports shall be put forward to Church Council.

Committees

We have Men, Women, and Youth Committees; Christian Education Committee; Committee of Evangelism; Development Committee; Music Committee and Decoration Committee. Department and Committee makes its own proposals and budget, which will be directed to EC in order to be approved. Each committee faithfully executes each own ministry proposal, and the responsibilities assigned and entrusted by EC and Church Council.
