Ecclesiastical polity

The apostles Peter and John laying hands in ordination. Illustration, 1873.

Ecclesiastical polity is the government of a church.

There are local (congregational) forms of organization as well as denominational. A church's polity may describe its ministerial offices or an authority structure between churches. Polity relates closely to ecclesiology, the theological study of the church.
