Chicagoland Baptists, Why do Baptists seem to like business meetings? Well, at the local church level it’s because we hold to ‘the priesthood of all believers’. God gives leaders to churches to guide them (Heb. 13:7), but the ultimate authority lies in the congregation itself (Mt. 18:17), not in pastors, presbyteries, or popes. So we meet together to make important decisions pertaining to the life of the church.
