Structure
The United Gospel Tabernacles allows each church to operate autonomously within the organization. Each district has a Superintendent, usually based upon state/territorial lines. Each pastor is expected to report to their respective superintendents, who then report to the President of the organization.
Each year a convention is attended by all the pastors within the denomination. It is during this convention that all matters concerning the denomination are voted upon. A simple two-thirds majority decides any decisions upon the voting table. Every fourth convention, a vote is cast for who will serve as President and Vice-President of the denomination for the next term, as well as District Superintendents. There are no limit to the amount of terms that may be served.
