Our Elders


The Elders in the Lord's Church are tasked with watching over the spiritual well being of the members of His Church. Just as Christ told Peter, "Feed my sheep" in John 21:17, so also our Elders are tasked with feeding the sheep today. This role in the Church goes by different names in scripture; Shepherds, Elders, Pastors, Overseers and Bishops. Whatever name they take, the role stays the same... To be a shepherd to the flock and feed the flock.

Due to the important nature of this role, Scripture is very clear on what men should serve in this role. 1st Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9 tell us about the character of a man who could be appointed to the office as an Elder in the Church.
