Structure
The church is organized in four different catergories conforming the Christian Doctrine:
Ecclesiastical
The hierarchy of the Church has been established by God, with Jesus Christ having full authority over the Church, but delegating authority to the Apostles according to 1 Corinthians 11:29
The Apostle of Christ (Ephesians 4:11)
Pastors and Bishops (1 Timothy 3:1-7)
Deacons (1 Timorthy 3:8-13)
Ministers
Evangelist Missionaries (Luke 10:1-2)
Territories
The Church is divided into different districts in each country. Each district encompasses several congregations and/or missions. A congregation is defined as a group of people who attend the church and report to an authorized spiritual leader. A mission is also a group of people who may or may not have a place of worship, but do not have an assigned spiritual leader.

Administrative
The Church relies on the Ministry, Directors and Commission groups. The Ministry is the most important group in the Church, requiring approval and induction by the President and International Director of the Church.
The board of Directors has limited authority and purpose. The Commission groups of the church are at the bottom of the hierarchy and have minor authority and usually work on specific tasks assigned to them.

Legal
The Church's disposition, along with its religious principals, is to follow the rules and regulation established by the country they are in. In the United States, the Church is registered as a non-profit organization.
