Constitution - The fundamental principles of an organization which determine the responsibilities and rights of its officers and members. Bylaws ? The detailed procedures and working guidelines of the organization which govern the day- to-day operations of the organization and accompany the Constitution.

The Baptist Church is a decentralized faith community, with each church being self-governing and autonomous. Each church is led by a pastor, who is responsible for preaching and teaching the Bible, and a group of deacons, who assist with the administration of the church.

Normally the constitution is the broader body of mutually agreed upon principles and purposeful structure that govern the affairs and action of the church.
