Should democracy exist within the local church? Does the word of God give the church a clear picture when it comes to discovering a model of church governance? The debate over these questions is timeless. In spite of careful scholarship, church leaders cannot agree on the answer to this quest. 
In his book, Democracy: Biblical Principle or man-made Institution, Dr. Hardy leads the reader in a search for an answer to the democratic question. While some within the church hold to the premise; “If I vote a pastor into office, I can vote him out as well”, others would suggest that this would never occur if a pastor was allowed to lead without congregational (Democratic) interference.
Regardless of the outcome of this search, it is evident that church governance can either aid a pastor in his/her ministry or hinder a pastor. While the actual model of church governance may not be critical to good church health, there is no doubt that the application of the model is vital to church health.
Read this book, discover for yourself what the answer to church governance may be, and then think about your role in the governing of your local church.
