While each baptist church can determine what is the best organizational chart to best fit them based on their individual programs, ministries, and leadership, there are several resources that provide information relating to the structure of the baptist church.

There are numerous Baptist Church associations,conventions and conferences, I suggest you check with them to determine if they use a particular format for the churches within their organizations.
If none of these resources prove helpful, make your own! Look at the ministeries within your church, look at who or what leadership group is held accountable, make your own based on formats used in business but substitutimng your information. God's bountiful blessings are heaped upon you for success in this endeavor.
Presbyterian versus conservative Baptist?
Liberal Presbyterian/Presbyterian/Baptist/Conservative Baptist
There is a segment of the Presbyterian Church the Presbyterian Church USA that has Agreements of Communion Complete with church denominations that condone homosexual ministers -
They also are big into the "Jesus Seminar" - see link provided.
The denomination within the Baptists, "Conservative Baptist," is a section that came out of the "Southern Baptist Conference," due to some of the Southern Baptist missionaries not believing in the "Virgin Birth."
Of course, a main difference between the Presbyterians and Baptist is that Presbyterians believe in "Infant Baptism." Both believe in Eternal Security, (OSAS). The ideas of the Presbyterians are more hyper-Calvinist, (hyper-Charles Finney also called it hyper - knowing that this TULIP ideas began 50 years after Calvin's death). They tend to have a stronger stance on OSAS than Baptist, and also are into Predestination that Baptist generally don't agree with them about. So, the logic of the Presbyterian Church USA is the Holy Spirit/Salvation comes in at "Infant Baptism" + OSAS = The person is saved no matter what sins they commit afterwards.
Look at the individual Church that you are visiting, and if they have the wording "Inerrancy," "Inerrant," or "Infallibility" in their Statement of Beliefs you will be on the right track.

Can you get married in church if married before?
Some religions are happy to remarry divorced people in Church because:
- If they were not the partner who wanted the divorce, then it is unfair to not allow them to remarry as everyone deserves a chance to be happy
- A second marriage in Church shows that the couple are taking their vows seriously
- God wants everyone to be happy
- The Church needs to move into modern times, otherwise people will leave.
