The governing elder board is responsible for overseeing the church's legal, financial, and spiritual affairs, ensuring alignment with its mission. Board members must meet biblical qualifications (1 Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:6-9) and possess the necessary gifts, abilities, and maturity. They serve a term of 1-3 years, appointed by the senior pastor and ratified by the apostolic council. The board works closely with the senior pastor to approve the budget, manage church properties, appoint staff, and review the pastor’s performance. They also handle legal matters, disciplinary issues, and ensure accurate financial records are maintained. In the absence of the senior pastor, they coordinate with the apostolic council as needed.

An apostolic council member provides spiritual oversight, accountability, and guidance to the senior pastor and governing board, ensuring alignment with the church’s mission and values. Composed of 3 to 5 mature elders, the council offers counsel, prayer, and support, and plays a key role in pastoral appointments and the selection process. They also serve as a forum for investigating complaints or conflicts involving the senior pastor or governing board, and arbitrate disputes when requested. Additionally, the council reviews and ratifies governing board appointments, assists in church vision and purpose, and acts as an appeals body for board decisions.
