A guide to church structure and practice

M. Keith Foskey’s guide approaches church polity through the authority it assigns to Scripture, applying that framework to the organization and work of a congregation. Its scope includes elders and deacons, the roles of men and women, spiritual gifts, worship, mission, and the congregation’s participation in ministry and generosity. The book combines theological questions about ecclesiology with practical concerns about how a church is led and functions. Its argument is explicitly rooted in a Calvinist Christian perspective and presents biblical faithfulness as the standard by which church structures and practices should be considered.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians interested in church governance and ecclesiology
  • Readers seeking a Scripture-centered account of church leadership and congregational responsibilities
  • Those exploring Calvinist perspectives on worship, ministry, and church structure

Book overview

The modern church is often driven by trends, traditions, and pragmatism. A Biblically Functioning Church argues that Christ has not left His bride without instruction. Scripture is the church's only infallible rule, and therefore it must govern her structure, leadership, worship, and mission. This book serves as a theological and practical guide to ecclesiology covering elders and deacons, the complementary roles of men and women, the proper understanding of spiritual gifts, and the active responsibility of the congregation in ministry and generosity. The aim is to call the church back to biblical faithfulness and to show that things are always better when they function by God's design.
