The responsible body that oversees the church is called the Consistory. It is composed of seven elders and seven deacons who are chosen from the congregation. Though their duties most often overlap so that they are mutually responsible for the welfare of the congregation, they do have distinct areas of responsibility.

Elders oversee the spiritual life of the church. When confession of faith is made it is made before the elders. The privilege of the sacraments is granted by the elders. The elders, together with the minister, are especially responsible for that which relates to the spiritual life of the congregation.

Deacons are charged with the material concerns of the church as well as overseeing the benevolence or missionary program of the church. It is the deacons who allocate the helping money to the several service agencies of the community and church.

The minister is always president of the Consistory by virtue of his office as minister of the church.

Consistory members lead the three church teams (Faith, Mission, and Temporal) that conduct the church's programs and administer the business affairs. Members from the Consistory and congregation serve on Action Groups which meet regularly and make recommendations to the monthly Consistory meetings.
