Have you ever wondered whether the Bible prescribes a specific form of church government?

And does church government really matter that much at all?

I think you'll be surprised how important this discussion really is.

Join me as we unpack all this and more coming up right now.

Welcome to Real Christianity. My name is Pastor Dale Partridge. This is part 11 of our 12-parts series titled Welcome to Reform Theology, where I'm taking our congregation at Kingsway Reform Church in Prescott, Arizona through the fundamentals of reform doctrine.

Today, we'll be covering the four different types of church government, how they're different,

and why I believe the Presbyterian church government model is the most biblical.

But before we get started, I wanted to briefly talk about the Relarn app.

Hey, everyone, Pastor Dale Partridge here. For years, our family has been listening to audiobooks, whether we're in the car, on vacation, or when our children are getting ready

for bed, we have great stories playing in the background. In a media-dominated world,

we are constantly looking for ways to

eliminate the TV and stimulate our minds toward Christ or epic stories or incredible biographies.

For that reason, our ministry launched the Relearn app for Christian families. It's the ultimate

library of Christian audiobooks and e-books that will fuel your family's theology.

From deep theological classics to dramatized audiobooks complete with sound effects for children,

we have an incredible collection of high-quality books with new releases every day.

Get family profiles, offline streaming, and sync your progress across all your devices.

Start your family's free trial at relearn.org. Again, that's relearn.org.

In church history, we really see four forms of church government.

Now, I know you might be thinking church government, man, sounds pretty boring.

It's actually more important than you think.

And I think you will grow to appreciate church government the more
