Church members and church meetings
When a person is baptised in a Baptist church, they normally become a church member.
Church members are called to prayerfully discern God's will for their shared life. Final authority does not rest with the ministers, deacons or any other local, national or international body, but with the members meeting together under God's guidance.
Church meetings will make significant appointments including ministers, and agree financial policy and mission.
