6.6 The Church is ultimately governed by Christ, but He does so through calling individuals to lead local Churches. Leaders do not exercise authority on their own account, but in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit. This comes as they study and obey the Bible. Members of the Church are to submit to such leadership and to support their leaders in whatever way necessary. In a local Church, leaders normally include elders (also known as pastors) and deacons.
