| ==Hierarchy==
| |
| The Patriarch of Drakorda became the first spiritual leader of the church and took the title of Otchim of the Benacian Bovic Church to symbolize his position of authority. Each Herd in Drak-Modan elects its own Pastuk, and the 16 Pastuks from each major city come together every 8 years to elect a new Otchim. The council of Pastuks also meet when called by the Otchim to debate matters of doctrine.

| ==Herds of the Church==
| |
| The Herds (congregations) of the Benacian Church are largely responsible for their own leadership, liturgy, administration, and finances. There are Herds in each of Drak-Modan's sixteen major cities. In contrast to the Dozan Bovic Herds that meet in cathedrals, Benacian Bovics believe in the humbleness of Bous and meet in open fields or outdoor pavilions.
