Abstract
This article believes church polity is critically important, especially in recent times where an appeal is quite easily made to the courts of the political dispensation. The article believes the scriptural viewpoint that Jesus Christ is head of the church plays a substantial role in the modern-day church, which should be kept in mind regardless. Reference is made to court cases in the past and the conclusion is that church polity is relevant because it is a scriptural necessity.

Summary
Die relevansie van kerkreg met besondere verwysing na die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika. How to cite this article: Van Wyk, B.J., 2018, ‘Die relevansie van kerkreg met besondere verwysing na die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika’, HTS Teologiese Studies/ Theological Studies 74(4), a5118. This article believes church polity is critically important, especially in recent times where an appeal is quite made to the courts of the political dispensation. Die artikel poog om andermaal ’n bydrae te lewer om die belang van kerkreg in die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika te beklemtoon. In dié verband kan ’n mens nie anders as om te verwys na die historiese aanloop van kerkreg sedert die Hervorming nie, maar ook te wys op die genuanseerde betekenis van kerkreg en kerkorde met verwysing na bepaalde prinsipiële vertrekpunte. Ten slotte word ’n argument gevoer ten gunste van ’n herwaardering van kerkreg en kerkorde, asook die betekenis daarvan in Skriftuurlike lig
