The Seventh Day Baptist General Conference is organized as a conference of churches. Voting on most issues brought before the annual sessions is done by delegates from members churches. A General Council is empowered to act for the Conference between sessions and prepare budget and program emphases. The Council is composed of elected members at large and ex officio members representing the Missionary Society, the Board of Christian Education, the Tract and Communication Council, the Council on Ministry, the Women's Society and the Memorial Fund Trustees. The Missionary Society and the Board of Christian Education have offices in Westerly, Rhode Island and Alfred Station, New York respectively.
Geographical associations help strengthen local fellowship, youth activities and witness.
