Believers Church
Believers Church is a Christian denomination with congregations and parishes worldwide. The church now has an episcopal governance for a much centralized control from its early presbyterian model,〔 and holds Christ as the head of the Church. () The Church is governed by a committee of Bishops, the Synod, with one central Bishop holding the honorary title of "first among equals" and follows fundamentally centrist doctrines of Evangelical Protestantism. Believers Church is administratively based in the state of Kerala in southwestern India. In 2015, the church reported it was re-organized into 33 dioceses;〔(【引用サイトリンク】About )〕 a decrease from the 36 dioceses reported by Smith in 2009. According to Believers Church, its membership consists of more than 2.6 million people in 10 countries speaking a hundred languages. The Church currently has 13 Bishops, and the current Metropolitan Bishop is Dr. K. P. Yohannan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Dr. K.P. Yohannan, Metropolitan )〕
==Beginnings==
The original church was rooted in Pentecostalism. On 6 February 2003, K. J. Samuel, the Moderator Bishop of the Church of South India (a part of the worldwide Anglican Communion), along with six other bishops consecrated K.P. Yohannan as a bishop in apostolic succession, which metamorphosed it into an emerging protestant church with evangelistic orientation. The Believers Church is divided as regions into dioceses, each with its own leader. Each local church has members ranging from less than one hundred to a thousand with an average of hundred, and the number of parishes themselves are increasing.〔 The Believers Church is divided as regions into dioceses, each with its own leader.
