SBC has Pastor-led congregational church polity. Biblical polity teaches two offices in the local church.
Pastors
In the New Testament churches had Elders, Overseers, Bishops, Pastors (used interchangeably for the same office) to oversee, shepherd and protect a local congregation (Acts 14:23, 20:17). Therefore, SBC a pastor-led congregationalism practicing church. Pastors are to preach, teach, counsel, equip and pray for the flock. SBC believes and prayerfully looks forward to having a plurality of pastors in our church.
Deacons
Deacons were appointed in the church to meet physical and administrative ministerial needs in the local church (Acts 6:4). Deacons look after Missions, Administration, Ordinances, Finance, Discipleship, Hospitality, Youths and Women's ministry and more as per need of the congregation. Qualifications of deacons are set forth in 1 Timothy 3.
