Baptist churches are democracies. The church elects the deacons after recommendations by the congregation or pastor. The pastor is NOT in control of the church the members are except in Baptist churches that are called "independent" and are not affiliated with a large convection like the General Baptist or Southern Baptist. This is done so the pastor can not take too much control of the church. But the church members can vote to remove a deacon. These types of things are done at business meetings in the church.

At that time, membership is transferred from the original church to the new church.However, some Baptist churches accept that individuals can be members of more than one church (this writer is a missionary and is a member his home church in the US, and is also a member of his church on the mission field).Some Baptist churches accept that an individual is a member of one church, while being an "associate member" of another church. (this writer has also don this.) That means that the person is a member of two churches but one is primary.Some Baptist churches believe that an individual can only be a member of one church at a time, but have "watch care" assigned to another church. An example of this would be a college student who is a member of one church while being under watch care of another near the college.
