Why is church governance important?

Answered in 1 source

Proper church governance promotes order, unity, and focuses the church on its mission.

In Acts 6, the apostles addressed emerging issues of division within the church, demonstrating the need for a governing structure to promote unity and effective ministry. The establishment of the diaconate was not merely about resolving disputes, but it also served to reinforce the biblical principle that God is not the author of confusion; rather, He desires order within His church (1 Corinthians 14:33). With a well-structured leadership ordained by God, the church can focus on its mission of preaching the gospel without unnecessary distractions or internal conflicts, reflecting Christ's love and grace to the community.
