Abstract: The article is the result of this research, which began with an explanation of the qualifications of church officials and church council based on Romans 12, considering that in Baptist churches, leadership is carried out by church officials and church council. For this reason, church officials and church council need to have good qualifications so that this does not result in weak church leadership and management. From the results of the pre-survey, it was found that there are indications that there are still church officials and church council who have not met the qualifications of church officials and church council based on Romans 12. This article aims to measure the level of confirmation of the qualifications of church officials and church council, the most dominant dimensions and the background that influences the level of confirmation of the qualifications of church officials and church council based on Romans 12 among the Indonesian Baptist church BPD Yogyakarta South Region. This research uses a quantitative method by measuring the Four Dimensions (D) in church officials and church council qualifications based on Romans 12. The research results show that the level of confirmation of the qualifications of church officials and church council is in the medium category. Second, the most dominant dimension is the Willingness to Serve According to Gifts (D3). Third, the dominant background category is position background. Therefore, the qualification level of church officials and church council in the Indonesian Baptist church BPD Yogyakarta South Region needs to be increased so that the level of confirmation of the qualifications of church officials and church council in the future can be higher and produce good quality leadership and service for the church and Baptist congregation.
