Blantyre Baptist church, like all Baptist churches follow the congregational system of church government. This means that the church is autonomous. There is no headquarters in Baptist Church where decisions are made and they are binding in the local church. That means the church decides the calling of a pastor, the removal of a pastor, the drawing up of a budget and the use of tithes and offerings. This does not mean independence. We believe in the inter-dependence of local churches. The church because of its voluntary affiliation and membership is also bound by resolutions made at annual Baptist Convention of Malawi where the church is represented.

The church is financed by the giving of its members. At the beginning of the year the church approves a budget proposed by the Finance Committee, which we try to follow closely. The Finance Committee monitors income and expenditure and advise the church through the leadership.
We teach that the tithe or ten percent of one’s income belongs to God and that in addition, members should give offerings. Tithe envelopes are given to members and receipts are issued. Members can give designated offerings. We publish weekly giving in the Church Bulletin. There is an annual audit by Graham Carr and Company.
