Elders and Deacons

The Bible specifies two offices given by God for each local church: Elders & Deacons.

Elders are pastors and therefore they are responsible for the spiritual leadership, shepherding, and general oversight of the church (Acts 14:23; Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 5:1-4).

Deacons, under the leadership of the Elders, are responsible for oversight and service in the church related to specific, designated areas of ministry need (1 Timothy 3:8-13; Philippians 1:1; Acts 6:1-7).
