Trustees are officers elected by the church, individuals are elected for three-year terms. Union Baptist Church is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and therefore is required to hold an annual corporate meeting for the purpose of sharing an audit report that is conducted by a Certified Public Accountant and to hold an election of officers. The chairperson of the Trustees Ministry, consistent with New York State law, is the President of the Union Baptist Church Corporation. The Trustees take care of the financial and physical property of the church.

The Church Clerk is the person responsible for taking and maintaining official minutes for church meetings, completing profiles for candidates for membership and signing official church documents. The church clerk is elected by the congregation at the Annual Church Meeting.

The Deacons and the Trustees make up the Joint Officers' Ministry. The Joint Officers oversee the activity of the church and make appropriate recommendations to the church body at the church meetings.
