description: Congregational authority is less about the meetings and more about the mission. Congregationalism has a bad rap for well-known reasons: inefficient meetings upstart members browbeaten ministers. But biblical congregationalism isnt so much about the meetings. Its about empowering the whole church to promote and protect the gospel. Pastors lead and equip. Members get to work strengthening one another and pursuing Christs mission in the world.
