The Bible provides principles for church governance, emphasizing that Christ is the head of the church and that faith should guide its administration.
The New Testament emphasizes the authority of Christ as the head and lawgiver of the church, indicating that all church governance must align with biblical principles. Key texts like Ephesians 5:23 suggest that Christ is the head of the church, highlighting that any form of governance is subordinate to His authority. Furthermore, while various church forms exist, they should foster unity and adherence to the Gospel rather than division over secondary matters. The overall guidance is that the church should be organized in a manner that reflects Scriptural teachings while being led by the Holy Spirit's direction.
