ORGANIZATION AND INCORPORATION

This General Global Synod operates as the Full Gospel Ecclesiastical Spiritual Wing of AUGP USA which is a 40-year-old 501 (C) 3 IGO registered with the UN and EU. The authority is derived from the Lord Jesus Christ and is vested in its global membership, governed through its appointed officers in accordance with this constitution. The title to the property and buildings and the ownership of all its equipment are vested in the membership. There shall be churches established globally and all such churches will come under the spiritual authority of the Synod and its Patriarch.

The General Synod considers and approves legislation affecting the whole of the Global Church,  formulates new forms of worship, debates matters of national and international importance, and approves the annual budget for the work of the Church at the global level.

The Synod is headed by the Patriarch with Archbishops and Bishops under him for global operations. Senior Pastors, Pastors and the clergy are handled by the Bishops and Archbishops.   The Court and Legal Directorate of the Global Synod are under the Judicial Vicar who is the Presiding Judge and he also provides professional legal services to the General Synod.

In each Diocese a Vicar and the Bishop form the Tribunal of the respective Diocese. The tribunal will handle the cases and trials that are brought to the Tribunal for adjudication. The Judicial Vicar of the Global Synod is the Global Head of the Judicial Directorate and is assisted by Ecclesiastical Judges,  Advocates, Auditors, Experts and Notaries. Most of the cases brought before the Tribunal of a diocese involve challenges to the validity of marriage, the Tribunal court also acts as the competent forum for other issues, such as the protection of the rights and obligations of the faithful as well as penal matters. Any appeal from the Tribunal of a Diocese will be made to the Judicial Vicar of the Global Synod.

The work of the Legal Directorate includes:

• Legislative work for the Global Synod, including preparing draft Measures and Canons, as well as subordinate legislation (such as Statutory Instruments), overseeing their passage through the Synod;
• Administering the central functions of the Clergy Discipline procedure; and
• Undertaking some specialist ecclesiastical conveyancing.

Hebron Eco University legally incorporated in the USA and registered with the United Nations is also affiliated with the Global Apostolic Diocese.  The work carried out in UAE under the International Institute of Theological Studies- IITS in 1990, and the subsequent expansion with SAIT and HOMSA now come under the purview of the Global Apostolic Diocese.
