浸信會的體制是採取會員治會制的。它的精神是由全體信徒同心尋求神對教會的旨意，並按著彼此所領受的恩賜來事奉。我們相信，在教會的生活中，神對教會的旨意，在正常情況下，會向大多數人顯明，因為神要我們同心合意，按著所領受的恩賜服事祂，建立教會。
我們進行同工的選舉就是基於這一信念，在聖靈裡透過選舉，尋求合主心意的教會領袖。所以，當我們進行選舉時，務必認真嚴肅，切切為選舉禱告，一同尋求聖靈的引導，選出合神心意的人來。
每一次進行選舉前要先為自己禱告，求主指引你未來要擔任的服事。如果聖靈要感動你出來服事，就應與弟兄姊妹分享你的呼召，並請大家為你禱告。然後再為別人禱告，求聖靈也呼召別人一起參與事奉。當你有具體的代禱對象，便應與那人分享，一同尋求聖靈同印證的感動。在提名的時候，便憑著這些聖靈的感動推選候選人，有相同感動的人便可以附議。若有兩個或以上的附議，便接納提名人為候選人。當候選人已經齊備，全教會就應同心為候選人禱告，求聖靈進一步指引，選出新的同工來。
教會選舉是沒有什麼當選不當選，都是神按著祂的心意，呼召人在不同的崗位上服事。每一個崗位都同樣尊貴，也同樣重要。教會的選舉也是一種屬靈的操練，讓我們學習在事奉上尋求主的旨意，也學習聆聽聖靈的聲音，順服祂的呼召。
Baptist polity adopts the congregational system in church management. They believe that God intends the whole church to seek His will together in church business and uses our gifts to serve the body. In the normal situation, when God reveals His will to the church, He will bring the consent to the majority to confirm a particular insight, and use different gifts to build up the body, for He wants us to serve Him in one accord.
Based on this belief, we elect our church leaders. We try to administer our election in the Holy Spirit to seek His will in calling our council leaders. Therefore, we urge our brothers and sisters to take our election seriously and prayerfully to seek God’s will together to elect those who are called by the Lord.
Every time before the nomination and election, we should pray for ourselves first to wait for God’s calling to the ministry. If the Holy Spirit calls you to a ministry, you should share that calling with other brothers and sisters, and ask them to pray for you. Secondly, you should pray for others, and ask the Holy Spirit to call people to serve in the church. Once if you have some one in your prayer, you should share your seeing with that person, and pray together to wait for the confirmation from the Holy Spirit. When we come to the day of nomination, we should nominate under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and also wait for at least two people to give the confirmations to second the motion. Any motion for a nominee should be carried with two seconds from the congregation. When the nomination is closed and a pool of nominees is established, the whole church should pray for all the nominees, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us into the election.
There is no loss or win in church election, for it is God who chooses His people to serve in different positions. Every position is equally important and noble in God’s perspective. Church election is also a kind of spiritual discipline to allow us to learn to serve the Lord and seek His will. It is also the opportunity to learn to listen to the Holy Spirit and obey His calling.
