Government Structure



Four Level System
The NJK will have four levels of government in its system, namely (from the local to national levels) Townships, Districts, Holy City and NJK. Each level will have the power to exercise given governmental authority in legislative, executive and judicial matters.

Townships- For each inhabited Township in an Holy City (a total of ), there will be a local church of members. Each of these churches will have a pastoral team of three ministers headed by the senior minister. Along with church pastoral duties, each will also deal with all minor matters within that township.

Districts- The HC's twelve District Temples will also be the central seat of government for their respective townships. A ministerial team of 4 will make up the presidential team for each, headed by the senior minister, and will supervise a board of local executive officers representing the HC’s 4 "entities" and their 12 executive ministries (see below in New Jerusalem Kingdom section).

Holy City- The minister of the HC Temple will also be the Holy City's President and will be seconded (as "HC vice presidents") by the district temple senior ministers. Like the district government, they will supervise a board of citywide HC executive ministry officers.

New Jerusalem Kingdom- The New Jerusalem Kingdom will have a chief head office position of President who will in essence be the "General Administrator and Overseer" of the nation. The presidents of the HC's will function as vice-presidents to the NJK president. The duty of this corp will be to ensure that the NJK always remains the Dedicated and Holy Nation that it set out to be; a country wholly devoted to God and His Truth and His Work.
