Organization
GKI's organization consists of congregation, presbytery, regional synod and Synod. Each organization respectively leads by congregation council (session), presbytery council, regional synod council and synod council. As the Synod consists of regional synods, regional synod consists of presbyteries, presbytery consists of congregations, so synod council consists of all regional synod councils, regional synod council consists of all prebytery councils and presbytery council consists of all congregational councils. In short synod council consists of all GKI councils which are composed of elders and ministers.
Church government in congregation runs by executive congregation council, in presbytery runs by executive presbytery council, in regional synod runs by executive regional synod council and in synod runs by executive synod council. This kind of organization acknowledged as presbyterial-Synodal system. What was unique as GKI Presbyterial-Synodal, each form of GKI church organization has its own council as servant-leadership, not merely as an executive board.
