The Silesian Evangelical Church of the A.C. is a member of the family of Christian fellowship united in supradenominational groupings.
The Synod Assembly is the highest organ of the church. It makes decisions in all ecclesiastical affairs, unless the Institution of the Church (Church Constitution) or Inner Church Regulations (Bylaws), eventually other regulations, do not confer this decision-making to other church organs.
The headquarters of the church is made up from the secretariat and economical division. Its responsibility is to secure the church and its run from the point of view of representation as well as economy.
There is a whole range of organizations or projects working in the SECAC which participate with their specific contribution in the mission of the church.
Operation costs of the church are partially subsidized by the state, further they are covered by voluntary donations of the church members and from grants. The cuts in the state budget increase the relevance of voluntary donations of members of individual congregations.
The members of the church council are:
The headquarters of the Church is in Český Těšín.
The Bishop is responsible for the activity of the church as a whole. For a discharge of his office he is responsible to the synod assembly.
The Bishop is elected by the synod assembly as one of the ordained ministers in active service, who has served for at least 15 years in church ministry. The term lasts 6 years and the bishop can be elected, at the maximum, twice. He can discharge his function until age of 65 years.
At present the function of the bishop is executed by Mgr. Jan Wacławek.
Our church grows out of the apostolic teaching as understood by the Reformation and subsequently by the revival movements in the history of our church.
The preamble in the Constitution of SECAC says:
“The believers in the triune God united in the Silesian Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession are part of Christ´s Church. Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ established the Church Himself and ordained Her mission. He is the head of the Church and He entrusted to Her the greatest gift that is the Gospel. That is why evangelism, missions and ministry to the needy are manifestations of the living church.
The basis of the teachings of the church is the Bible, which is the inspired and infallible Word of God. The church endorses the Augsburg Confession (1530), as well as other symbolic books of this confession which present an expression of the historical and spiritual bond with the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther.“
The corpus of all our confessional (symbolical) writings is contained in the Book of Concord.
