The ILCH is divided into districts and communities (or congregations). Each community is managed by its own independent board of directors. All the communities meet in a national synod. For ecumenical affairs within Chilean Protestantism, the church is a member of the Council of Historical Protestant Churches of Chile. The national directory is headed by the President and the National Bishop. Today the Church has 23 active communities throughout the country:[1]
