Our Governance
Sovereign Grace Churches is a community of congregations. Membership is voluntary and the principles of elder rule and the autonomy of the local church are respected and encouraged. We align ourselves with one another by committing to the principles and practices prescribed by our Book of Church Order.
Our governmental structure is representative and decentralized. Ever pastor is a member of a Regional Assembly of Elders. Every church appoints a delegate to serve on the Council of Elders. In this way, all denominational authority is derived and certified by our local elderships.
To familiarise yourself with how we are governed, please read through Parts 1 & 2 of our Book of Church Order.
"Each local body stands in need of other local bodies in a relationship of interdependence."
