The Adventist Church has a representative form of government. This means church members have the ultimate say in who leads the church. Adventist members get together and vote for their local, regional, and global representatives. As led by God, the members themselves elect servant leaders to their roles.
The most local form of governance takes place as leaders are selected to serve their local church congregations. After this, Adventists in an area are organized into conferences, which are then clustered into larger unions. These unions are organized into 13 world divisions, which dialogue directly with the General Conference.

Currently, Pastor Mwangi is the president of the Central Kenya Conference, a role in which he has served since 2022.
