SGC-Bacolod affirms a congregational form of church government in which the final authority under Christ rests with the assembled body of members. The Board of Members participates in key decisions concerning church life—such as affirming pastors and deacons, receiving new members, and making major directional or financial decisions. We believe that every member has a role to play in discerning God’s will together and in upholding the unity, doctrine, and mission of the church.
