How do we know that church government is biblically mandated?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament presents various models of church governance which guide believers in establishing their congregations.

The argument for biblically mandated church governance is supported by the various models presented in the New Testament, suggesting that God has not left the church's structure undefined. While passages like Acts and the epistles outline principles and practices for church life, there is no one-size-fits-all model. This suggests that God has provided essential guidelines while allowing for diverse expressions of church polity as suited to different contexts. Furthermore, the absence of explicit directives for every detail highlights the need for discernment, prompting each congregation to seek God's wisdom in applying biblical principles to their specific context.
